Quite possibly one of the three greatest songs ever recorded.
The fact that it's pure craft vs. autobiographical (Jimmy Webb wrote it as kind of an answer song to "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," its mythical lineman is just a fictional creation) makes not a jot of difference.
Magical, and evocative of a particular time in the U.S. when seeing a guy on a powerline pole could evoke this kind of backstory.
if Billy Strings and his Quintet come anywhere within 3 hours of you this summer, absolutely go and see them.
If you like bluegrass, country, folk, rock, or just generally a fan of improvisational jam music, Billy Strings will blow your mind.
