Yes, iI have been to Richmond in November in the rain. I deliver to Richmond and spent the last month in the rain. This as good, as the Larry Sparks version.

[johnbackman]

Most excellent. Larry Sparks seems to be often overlooked and is truly one of the greats. His melodic solos on the lower strings was well represented

[shawnsil]

I literally cannot get enough of this song! Props to Billy and the band for covering Larry Sparks so well!

[jeffwyrick]

That's just almost as good as Larry does it! Good stuff Billy!

Saw him in Charlottesville in February.. Wish he would have done this ditty...my sis and I were there ..was missing Joyce Thomas but we are The Virginia Girls for The Lonesome Highway Bluegrass Band out of Ohio featuring Mr Jim Duty..if you know Bluegrass you know that band and a big shout out to John Keith.. Cause if you have followed bluegrass at all you definitely know his work

[wesweldon]

He does a ton of covers and this one is one of best easily

[jessicastoke]

You know we've got a special artist when they can bring new life and innovation into an old classic. Billy does spoil us. 🌠💙

[chuckskelding]

The most appropriate song, written about the city he is playing in, and the month he is playing there. Billy Strings has a special way to connect with his audience, and most importantly connect them with “Truegrass” the original bluegrass music!

You all might want to check out Sierra Ferrell's very different but equally beautiful version on YouTube (also performed in Virginia, of course).

[edchilders]

Thanks for posting. Waited all night for that one. Incredible show!

[alabastardmasterson]

Could be my favorite song ever written and they do it right

[dllavid]

Well now… dam Billy ….. I follow all your YouTube videos and this one stopped me in my tracks ! Thank you so much for all the old traditional songs you breathe life into …. Monroe, Rice, Stanley are all being done mighty proud !

[paullacy]
