Went to a show w/ a friend, didn’t know what I was getting into. Billy Strings had me dancing my ass off and I mostly don’t like country music. It’s all about when they they’re just jamming, it’s incredible.
Technically true but nowadays someone will say they like or don’t like country it could mean almost anything lol. But when it comes up I presume modern pop country.
It’s definitely not the first thing people will think of when you say “country”, but it goes hard and definitely has more rural/smalltown/backwoods roots so I think it counts as a subset of country
I love the jamming too! The grateful dead/jerry garcia started out with a more bluegrass sound, which apparently is what the jammy nature of their music was inspired by. See the hart valley drifters

Billy strings is hella talented.
It’s somewhere on the bluegrass<>country spectrum I wouldn’t really call it country music.
Id argue bluegrass is a subset of country
I wish radio stations felt that way too so they’d play some decent shit instead of pop garbage.

Ya I love the Dead, especially when they play the trippy less structured (my old Deadhead friend says it’s called “space”)
I like it! This is Jerry pre-Dead?
I think so, I found them from reading something about the history of the dead
