Despite (or perhaps because of) his relatively light recent tour schedule, Strings has kept busy of late. During his recent break from the road, he and his band featuring banjoist Billy Failing, mandolinist Jarrod Walker, bassist Royal Masat, and fiddler Alex Hargreaves went into the studio with producer Jon Brion (Aimee Mann, Rufus Wainright) to record a new album.
In a recent interview on WTF with Marc Maron, Billy revealed that the LP is called Highway Prayers but did not give a tentative release date. Pressed for details on the musical makeup of the release, Strings said, “I don’t know what to call any of my records honestly, ’cause there’s some bluegrass on ’em and that’s where I cut my teeth and where I started. But when I’m writing I just follow the song.” Beyond the musical arena, Billy Strings announced that he and his wife are expecting their first child—a boy—this fall.
