Now there’s another: the band led by the bluegrass singer, guitarist and songwriter Billy Strings.</p> 363 364 365 366<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m late to Billy Strings; three Grammys late, to be exact, all for best bluegrass album of the year in 2021, 2025 and 2026. He’s been around for a while but I didn’t catch up until his new album, <em>So Much for Goodbyes</em>, which is one of the most enjoyable things I’ve heard this year — particularly a wonderful track called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwNwMzjHI0k">“Lucid Daydream”</a>, which bends the bluegrass format in a very compelling way.</p> 367 368 369 370<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last year Strings was invited to support Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson on a few dates of their Outlaws tour, and cancelled his own summer dates in order to do so. I found a clip of his cover of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNeS_pVs-ms">“Tangled Up in Blue”</a>, not from the Outlaws shows but from his own gig in Hartford, Connecticut in July of this year, and I think it’s completely brilliant — nothing radical in terms of reinterpretation, but in sheer spirit and love of the material it’s up there with the very best of Dylan covers.</p> 371 372 373 374<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like “Lucid Daydream”, it’s also a great demonstration of how good he and his band can be in what is anyway an idiom rooted in the joyous expression of instrumental virtuosity. He’s a superfine picker, kind of a turbocharged bluegrass Mark Knopfler, as the short solos on the Dylan song demonstrate, but he’s matched every step of the way by Alex Hargreaves on fiddle, Billy Falling on banjo, Jarrod Walker on mandolin, and Royal Masat on string bass. </p> 375 376 377 378<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together they show how an old-time diasporic music form can be brought right up to the present. I’m just sorry it took me a while, in this instance, to find that out. But better late than never.</p> 379 380 381 382<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>* The photo of Billy Strings, taken at a gig this summer by an uncredited photographer, is from his Facebook page. </em>So Much for Goodbyes <em>is out now on the Reprise label. </em></p> 383<div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-twitter"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 384 data-shared="sharing-twitter-33519" 385 class="share-twitter sd-button share-icon" 386 href="https://thebluemoment.com/2026/09/28/bluegrass-and-billy-strings/?share=twitter" 387 target="_blank" 388 aria-labelledby="sharing-twitter-33519" 389 > 390 <span id="sharing-twitter-33519" hidden>Share on X (Opens in new window)</span> 391 <span>X</span> 392 </a></li><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 393 data-shared="sharing-facebook-33519" 394 class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon" 395 href="https://thebluemoment.com/2026/09/28/bluegrass-and-billy-strings/?share=facebook" 396 target="_blank" 397 aria-labelledby="sharing-facebook-33519" 398 > 399 <span id="sharing-facebook-33519" hidden>Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)</span> 400 <span>Facebook</span> 401 </a></li><li class="share-end"></li></ul></div></div></div><div class='sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-post-wrapper-45979352-33519-6abe4baab7e6c' data-src='//widgets.wp.com/likes/index.html?ver=20261001#blog_id=45979352&post_id=33519&origin=thebluemomentdotcom.wordpress.com&obj_id=45979352-33519-6abe4baab7e6c&domain=thebluemoment.com' data-name='like-post-frame-45979352-33519-6abe4baab7e6c' data-title='Like or Reblog'><div class='likes-widget-placeholder post-likes-widget-placeholder' style='height: 55px;'><span class='button'><span>Like</span></span> <span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class='sd-link-color'></a></div> 402<div id='jp-relatedposts' class='jp-relatedposts' > 403 <h3 class="jp-relatedposts-headline"><em>Related</em></h3> 404</div></div> </div><!--end entry--> 405 <div class="post-footer clear"> 406 <div class="tags"> 407 Tags: <a href="https://thebluemoment.com/tag/alex-hargreaves/" rel="tag">Alex Hargreaves</a>, <a href="https://thebluemoment.com/tag/billy-falling/" rel="tag">Billy Falling</a>, <a href="https://thebluemoment.com/tag/billy-strings/" rel="tag">Billy Strings</a>, <a href="https://thebluemoment.com/tag/jarrod-walker/" rel="tag">Jarrod Walker</a>, <a href="https://thebluemoment.com/tag/royal-masat/" rel="tag">Royal Masat</a> </div> 408 <div class="cats"> 409 From: <a href="https://thebluemoment.com/category/bluegrass/" rel="category tag">Bluegrass</a> </div>
