Spent many a day snowmobiling around Escanaba, it's a nice ride out and back from Paradise (MI)!

Great song.

Great car on the album cover (perhaps a 1969 Chevelle? Manual? Big block V8? Jensen speakers? Pioneer Supertuner?).

But the song don't go with that car.  For that car, you need something like Montrose's Bad Motor Scooter. Or Rush's Working Man.

  

 


I would be willing to bet that somewhere out in the woods around Escanaba a faded glory version of this car sits in a shed. And the old man up in the house wouldn't mind this music one bit, even if he hit it a little harder back in the day.

I’m not a big grass fan, but sweet stuff like this just may win me over!

That live Billy will have you kicking up dust and breathless! Love his studio albums as well, but you're absolutely right about the magic of a live Billy Strings show.  


Also, THANK YOU WILLIAM!  <3

Excellent. The gauntlet passed from Tony Rice and the Grisman quintet to a new generation of talent. 

Outstanding work.



Sam Grisman is also carrying the torch!

At first I thought this might be new Nickel Creek. A little sleuthing revealed Mr. Strings has played with Chris Thile. No suprise, since Mr. Thile is an outstanding mandolinist.
Glad to know there are people keeping this music alive.

Billy is a refreshing artist that gives me hope for keeping traditional music alive.   He is extremely well rounded.  I look forward to his stuff.   



Bluegrass is from the 1940s. I still think this is fun, but it's funny to hear it called "traditional."

Initially thought this was Nickel Creek... but Billy will do just fine

I'm not a guitar player but I recognise some very sweet chops here.  A pleasure to listen to.
