Hear bluegrass phenom Billy Strings’ gripping new song “Taking Water”
in 2017, blending traditional bluegrass with a punk-rock mindset. On September 27th, he’ll release the follow-up to that LP,, his first release with Rounder Records. Ahead of the album, Strings is premiering the song “Taking Water,” a desperate declaration that something — a relationship, a community, even the nation — isn’t long for this world.
“This ol’ boat is taking water/it won’t be long till it goes down/had enough to push us over/time to turn the wheel around,” he sings in the chorus, offering at least a glimmer of hope that change can come. Born in Michigan and now living in Nashville, Strings has become one of string music’s most dynamic young stars. Last month he wowed a Ryman Auditorium crowd with his mix of classic bluegrass and exploratory jam-folk, a sound that has endeared him to fans of both country music and rock.
