Our Take

Billy Strings' latest offering, "Me/And/Dad," is a rollercoaster ride of Americana goodness that will have you tapping your feet and questioning your life choices in equal measure.

Strings, known for his lightning-fast picking and soulful vocals, serves up a smorgasbord of musical styles on this album, from bluegrass to blues to good ol' fashioned rock and roll. The title track, "Me and Dad," is a poignant meditation on family and legacy, while "Wicked War" is a barn-burner of a tune that will have you reaching for your air banjo in no time.

But it's not all toe-tapping fun on this record. Strings delves deep into darker territory with tracks like "Hollow Heart" and "Running," exploring themes of loss, regret, and existential dread. It's heavy stuff, but Strings manages to keep things from getting too maudlin with his trademark wit and charm.

Overall, "Me/And/Dad" is a triumph for Billy Strings, showcasing his versatility as a musician and his knack for storytelling. Whether you're a hardcore bluegrass fan or just looking for some good tunes to bop along to, this album has something for everyone. So grab yourself a glass of moonshine, sit back, and let Billy Strings take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.

Hailed as a modern-day bluegrass prodigy, Billy Strings is the enigmatic figurehead of a new wave of acoustic music that has been sweeping the nation. With his lightning-fast pickin' and soulful vocals, this young virtuoso has been captivating audiences with his electrifying live performances, leaving jaws on the floor and feet stompin' in unison. Born William Apostol in Michigan, Strings grew up immersed in the rich musical heritage of the Appalachians, honing his craft on the guitar from a tender age. His dedication to the traditional sounds of bluegrass is evident in every note he plays, yet he brings a fiery intensity and modern sensibility that sets him apart from his peers. Strings' latest album, "Home," showcases his evolution as an artist, blending elements of country, folk, and rock into a sound that is uniquely his own. Tracks like "Dust in a Baggie" and "On The Line" display his lyrical prowess and storytelling ability, while instrumentals like "Turmoil & Tinfoil" highlight his technical prowess and improvisational skills. Despite his unconventional approach to bluegrass, Strings has garnered a dedicated following of fans who eagerly await each new release and flock to his sold-out shows. With a stage presence that is equal parts charming and unpredictable, the only thing you can expect from a Billy Strings performance is the unexpected. In a world filled with cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured hits, Billy Strings is a breath of fresh air, reminding us all of the power of raw talent and authenticity in music. Keep an eye on this rising star - you won't want to miss what he does next.
