I hear a lot of praise concerning Billy Strings.

Can you give me 3-5 favorite songs of his that you'd think one must listen to, and that would give me a comprehensive overview of his music?

There all good. Start with some of the better known songs like Turmoil and Tinfoil, Taking Water, Red Daisy, Dust in a Baggie, Enough to Leave, and Away From the Mire. Then go deeper with his jam songs like Meet Me at the Creek, etc....

Start here

Dust in a Baggie - Billy Strings (probably down in the basement)

meet me at the creek and then add in something new with Alex Hargraves on fiddle

both originals - but his standards are done extremely well

Eat a couple cap/stems and find the longest version of Highway Hypnosis and report back.

Away from the Mire is where you need to start.

Taking Water is #2 for me.

Dust in the Baggie is fun.

The rest are all on the same level for me.

Just put on his playlist on Spotify and enjoy the next few hours He has a lot of great songs.

“Away from the mire” would be a good song to start if you wanted one song to set the tone

if you have a nugs account there is a professionally mixed audio stream of every show on his current tour. Pick one at random

If you find you're into it and have an hour to spare, here's a full concert at Red Rocks from a couple years ago.

Don't listen to any Billy Strings albums. Only listen to his live performances. He's a million times better live than his albums. Start here.
