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!
Makes you happy !

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.

  

 
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.

THANK YOU BILL!   He’s a great artist AND is one of the best in concert I’ve ever seen,  transcendent doesn’t even start to describe! the album is great, but for full Impact if you ever get the chance, see a show…

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

Great name for a blue grass musician - Billy Strings

Liking quite a bit on 1st listen
finally some bs on here
Just gotta post and get on a near blank board...  Enjoyable!
I'm not a guitar player but I recognise some very sweet chops here.  A pleasure to listen to.
