Last year, Billy Strings released a collaboration record with his father, Terry Barber. A bluegrass musician, Barber heavily influenced String and introduced several iconic musicians, such as Bill Monroe, John Hartford, Doc Watson, David Grisman, and more. Thus, the two often performed classics together during String’s childhood. Strings turned this memorable father-and-son moment into a full studio album, ME/AND/DAD. The record contains covers of classics from George Jones, Bill Monroe, the Everly Brothers, and more. The album featured singles, Bill Monroe’s “Long Journey Home” and George Jones’ “Life to Go.” Upon its release, ME/AND/DAD peaked at number 37 on the Billboard 200.
