He’s achieved an incredible surge of popularity and success in the bluegrass, jamband, and live music world these past few years, and he’d probably be the first to tell you he owes a lot of it to his childhood exposure to pickin’, courtesy of his dad Terry Barber. So he decided to record a duet album with him! Also present is an all-star band including bassist Mike Bub, mandolinist Ron McCoury, banjo player Rob McCoury and fiddler Michael Cleveland as well as special guest appearances by Jerry Douglas, Jason Carter and Strings’ mother, Debra Barber.
Billy Strings and Terry Barber s Me/And/Dad is for the traditionalists who love bluegrass and country in its raw form and find its plainness attractive.
Billy Strings' Me/And/Dad is a happily unlikely outcome for father and son, a chance to record an album rooted so deeply in memory and gratitude, addiction and recovery.
Billy Strings shared a documentary short on the crafting of his new album, 'ME/AND/DAD,' recorded with his father Terry Barber featuring studio footage, jam sessions and more.
