Billy Strings - "Blue Virginia Blues" (Live in Richmond - Nov. 12, 2021) 

No one better doing Larry Sparks. Us old people really appreciate it.

Let’s not forget this was recorded in Richmond in November. Couldn’t have times it more perfect.

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

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.

I literally cannot get enough of this song! Props to Billy and the band for covering Larry Sparks so well!

Thre isn't great comprehension of Bluegrass in the current generation than Billy Srings and band ; Molly Tuttle, AJ Lee, and their immensely talented bands posess today. We are immensely grateful.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤠

That's just almost as good as Larry does it! Good stuff Billy!

He does a ton of covers and this one is one of best easily

Could be my favorite song ever written and they do it right

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

Man I love this song he does it good too

One of my favorite Larry Sparks songs.

Best I’ve ever heard

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!

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

Favorite song

Simply beautiful, glad I was there : )

Thanks for posting. Waited all night for that one. Incredible show!

Excellent show. We were close to the front and went nuts when they played this one

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

this was so good

Well now… dam Billy ….. I follow all your RU-vid videos and this one stopped me in my tracks ! Thank you so much for all the old traditional songs you breathe life into …. Monroe, Rice, Stanley are all being done mighty proud !

best show

Was such a dope show. Peep the security up front, he can’t get enough of Billy

First time hereing billey. Slowing it down with Out being. Wild like it should be his style All the time Sounds. Very. Good

Im a native of the Shenandaoh valley va blue ridge mountains na its true bout those va girls.

At least he used the Sparks version. Even the geetar break

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

Little bit of acid grass For my soul

💔

What key

Billy, please come off those Marlboro's...... What would Tony tell you right now?

Better than the original
