    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

      I agree 100pct, if I ever accidentally heard someone try to cover this masterpiece it would be Billy Strings. He did it justice to.

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

    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!

    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.

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

    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

  • @dllavid
    @dllavid Před 2 lety +3

    I'm tempted to write a bluegrass song about Charlottesville Hussies..so he'll have one for us next time... Even though we are "The Virginia Girl's" for real... Heartbreakers
