Billy Strings - Taking Water Recorded Live - Paste Studio NYC - New York, NY More Billy Strings: www.pastemagaz... Audio: Bob Mallory Video: Brad Wagner
Darryl Hammons the iTunes version of the album I downloaded isn’t very clear and that really is unfortunate because the music is fantastic. Maybe remastering the album would help.
@@ianwoollard2063 I just think they are a "live" playing band. Studio out of comfort zone. Especially if someone else is trying to produce their sound.
There is a real art to the old bluegrass style of using one microphone for the whole group, and mixing by stepping toward or away from the microphone. There are 2 or 3 amps in the shot, but there are no cables running from any of the instruments, so I’m pretty sure it’s just the one mic. And this is a phenomenal example of it.
“What kind of music do you like” “Oh I like to listen to folk, bluegrass, contemporary metal, and a few other things. At the same time. Big billy strings fan.”
You can tell a good bluegrass band by whether they can use a single Mic, and whether they use their instruments as percussion since they don’t have a drummer. These guys do it all very very well!
I am impressed with just how good they play together. Idk if one calls a blue grass band 'tight', but if, they are...the mandolin blew my mind.. makes it look too easy.
it is wonderful how Billy connects with his audience. His happiness, sadness; his complete empathy is a treasure. But, I also worry that he is able to protect himself; empathy can be overwhelming for him.
Yeah, my son says hes not of this world, he must be an alien. He's so good, it's mind boggling. The rest of his band are great, too. I feel bad for the bass player, in the background!
Thile is too hokey for Billy. Also, Jarod Walker is a better mandolinist anyway. Billy said himself that Jarod is the best mandolin player he’s ever met... and he’s met Chris Thile.
If I may insert my opinion..... NO WAY MAN! It's just how it is supposed to be! However, I feel ya, and I respect it! Chris Thile is an awesome mandolin player, but Jarrod is that half worn out shoe that fits Billy's bad foot so well and makes walking so much easier for him, and doesnt cause his back to hurt after being on his feet all day! ie, A PERFECT FIT!
Jarrod is a more fitting player for Billy's sound. But not so sure he's more talented than Thile. Thile is like the Bela Fleck of mandolin. Can play anything, any style.
thank you for putting it out there...real life. Watch it fall. Why is everyone, in this very decade, burying their heads in the sand while our leaders dug the hole? Be well out there, gentlemen.
I just heard this on the radio driving home. Got my car egged by some locals trying to push me out. This song helped me remain calm, clear, cool, and driven.
