Billy Strings - Renewal

Artist - Billy Strings

Title - Renewal

Format - 2x 180-Gram Vinyl LPs

Label - Rounder

Billy Strings has been hailed as the future of bluegrass, transcending tradition and genre with his high velocity, flat-picking guitar technique, and intense, confessional songwriting.

He won a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album for his 2019 release, Home. The Michigan-born, Nashville-based artist returns with, Renewal, his latest album on Rounder Records.

Serving as a reflection of Strings' own musical influences, Renewal reaches well beyond bluegrass with elements of heavy metal, jam bands, psychedelic music and classic rock – even though it's still primarily an acoustic record.

Guided by producer Jonathan Wilson (Roger Waters, Father John Misty), Billy Strings and his road band were given the space to explore new textures and unusual instrumentation on the album, resulting in a more expansive sound that still embraces his roots.
