Billy Strings “The Gambler” (Don Schlitz)

Billy Strings kicks off his two night stand at Virgin Hotels’ Event Lawn with what BS aficionados assure me was his debut of Don Schlitz’s “The Gambler” (made famous by Kenny Rogers). Recorded September 3, 2021.

If Billy Strings is within driving range, get the tickets. Crazy talent and a tremendous show. A complete WOW of a concert. I'm tempted to quit my job, buy a van and follow him around the country, lol. He is that good.

Man Billy's vocals are getting much better. What a damn good version of this song.

Love you billy strings. I’m not lying. Iv lived In Tennessee for 33 years. Never liked country music, but this man has changed my view. I love it now

This kid is amazing and I am a big fan

[dianehunsberger]

Kenny Rogers would be proud ! Is there any song BS can't do ...

I've been to lots of concerts in various genres of music. I'm talking I've seen it all from death metal to gospel. And Billy Strings in concert is probably one of the coolest experiences I've ever had the pleasure to have. If you're a true music lover, make an effort to go see this guy!

Billy really thinks about his covers, playing this song for the first time in Vegas! Good stuff

[WisconnyJohnny]

This was an amazing opener
This whole show was special
Was an easy rail to get :)

I was in a band just after high school, about 1974 I think it was, and we played this song. That's how far back it goes. A Kenny Rogers hit.

Great job on this one, like all of them.
I'm not exactly 'young'..pretty much OLD & I love this young man, he is SO talented.

There’s more country on that stage than the past twenty years of cma award ceremonies.

Kenny Rogers baby made this song famous

[sharonsakcriska]

Somehow my mind goes back to"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille"and me and John Paul singing with the radio 📻 1976 I think 🤔
