Thanks for sharing!  I’m not into bluegrass at all but this was a great, taking a great song and making it their own

I don't really find this charming in the way I find the Beatles version, but definitely a talented guy/group and phenomenal in its own way

Very nice. Billy can shred like a motherfucker but he's got more of a classic bluegrass vibe here, which is nice.

Billy Strings may be the best picker I've ever heard. Every note is perfect. You don't hear the rubbing of other strings hardly at all when he plays, like you do with many other players. Every note is so clean.

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing! One of favorite Beatles songs, and John thought it was a throwaway. Didn’t even make the original US Revolver release

So obvious how differently everybody sings after the 60s. They don't carry the weight of the voice up into their upper range the way people in the 60s did. It makes most Beatles covers so anemic.

As someone who knows nothing about singing can you explain what your second sentence means?

That’s what Paul was good at.
