Billy Strings to release new album featuring his father
After Billy String finishes his tour, he will follow up with his next album, ME/AND/DAD, scheduled to arrive on November 18 via Rounder Records. This is the first time the artist has recorded with his father, Terry Barber. The album will feature new versions of 14 bluegrass and country classics that the pair have been playing together since the artist was a child.
In a statement, the artist wrote:
“As long as I can remember, I wanted to make a record with my dad. I’ve been burning up and down the highways the last 12 years, and as time slips away, you start thinking, ‘I need to make time.’ It’s been a bucket list thing for me, something I’ve been afraid I wouldn’t find the time to do. And that scared me; not doing this record scared me.”
In 2021, the artist won a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album for his 2019 release, Home. The album was released in September 2019 and stayed on the Billboard Bluegrass Albums Chart for 77 weeks, peaking at number 1.
