How cool is it that he still plays with his dad? He could have anyone play with him. Their bond seems special.

Like how Billy and his dad have the same posture, the same movements. Beautiful sound together.

Was having a real bad trip, but this brought me right back out of it

Lovely to see Billy & Daddy Strings performing such a nice rendition.

[unndunn]

I love it when he plays with his dad. It’s not just a great sound, it’s beautiful seeing and hearing their connection

[ThinWhiteAxe]

I'm obsessed, been listening to this on repeat for an hour but something about the chord progression won't let me go, and those guitars sound so chimey and sweet together

[gentlebenblues]

Family, what can i say....Billy the kid picks with his dad all the time ... This is so refreshing and beautiful... Song is awesome too

[BlownVR]

Can’t tell if it’s the guitars or the mix (probably both), but man this sounded huge. Props to whoever mixed this!

I never seen such a great father-son duo. A beautiful song.

[sizzlechestmcmurphy]

Ultimate father/son stuff. I got it through my old man catching for me. He was a scholarship catcher and he gave me more information than I could have ever hoped for.

I can relate. My mother and father abandoned me at 1.5yrs old. I was raised in a bluegrass family in Appalachia. I learned to sing, pick guitar and mandolin as soon as I could hold one. I wouldn't trade summer night jam sessions on the front porch with the family almost every night for nothing.

[thinweasel]

This melody twists my guts and my heart

[joshbennett]

Just like Doc and Merle !!!! Absolutely amazing.

[BadAnalRim]
