Mr. Hubba,

Regards to Mrs. Hubba.
I've been trying to figure out which Billy Strings album to buy, but AllMusic is of little help.

"A master of the guitar, banjo, and mandolin, Billy Strings is a singer and instrumentalist whose music starts with the sound and speed of bluegrass and folds in elements of rock, jazz, and psychedelia.
" Strings's music was presented in its most traditional form on his 2016 self-titled EP, 2019's Grammy-winning Home added a more rock-oriented production style and extended jams to his formula, and 2021's Renewal featured some of his most personal songwriting and ambitious music to date."
"In September 2017, he released Turmoil & Tinfoil, an effort that found him adding a wider variety of sounds and influences to his music."

You have seen me post pretty much music here, so can you be Siri for me & tell me which album I should buy?
Or, maybe characterize the ones you know & like, pls?

Man, that's a great question. Of course, you know my initial thought is "all of them!" If I had to pick just one? Very tough...

The first one is too short. Great song in Dust in a Baggie, but if you're only picking one, let's eliminate that one.

Turmoil and Tinfoil is fantastic. Although I enjoy the album, the music from the album IMHO is best heard live.

Home is fantastic, trippy, excellent music all around. Renewal is a double vinyl set, and I have only been through it twice now. I'd say flip a coin between those 2. Either way, you can't go wrong. We may have another grammy winner in Renewal. Let me know which one you end up with!

HTH!

Hey, I wanted you to be Siri & tell me what to buy.
My thought is to pass on Renewal & get one of the first two albums, because that is often where the artist is playing what they are most about.
But I just had a revelation: I can go back in this thread & sample many of Billy's songs, probably from all those albums.

I'm breaking in my new speakers.....right now a bit of Blue Rodeo.

Hey, you can lead a horse to water... And yep! I think I must have posted just about everything he's done by now, you have a wide sample to choose from!

Never heard of them, but:

"Blue Rodeo

Canada's most popular roots-rock band, Blue Rodeo has developed into a veritable institution in their home country. Their sound, a basic blend of country, folk, and rock, also has a definite pop appeal that underlines their devotion to later-period Beatles, in addition to expected touchstones like Gram Parsons, Bob Dylan, and the Band."

What kind of speakers?

Thanks Murf!

Post a song of theirs for us to hear, if you like.

Because Esteban likes his originals. And I agree. Her voice was spectacular.
