Jamming out in the studio. It might be the holiday season, but Billy Strings does not look like he's taking a break from working. While many artists are wrapping up tours and studio time for the year to wind down and take some time off until 2025, Billy Strings appears to be doing the opposite. Strings, who recently became a father, just shared a video of him laying down a classic in the recording booth. Billy Strings is kicking off this holiday season by sharing a cover of Doc Watson's "A-Roving On A Winter's Night." But don't let the title fool you; this song is far from the holiday anthem the title might imply; it's a cold, heartbreak ballad. On the Doc Watson record, The Vanguard Years, Watson says in the intro of "A-Roving On A Winter's Night" that it's one of his favorite songs. "If I had to pick a favorite love song from the songs that I've learned from the old time records and the relatives... I guess it would have to be one called "A-Roving On A Winter's Night.'"  The song is loving as the narrator thinks about his times with a woman he cherished. But it's also heartbreaking as the narrator looks back on these memories because the relationship is no longer alive, and he's left with a heart to mend. In the first verse, the former lover compares how highly he thought of this woman to some of the most beautiful things in the world, like flowers or the beauty of France. In the second verse, he wonders who still cares for her and gives her the love she deserves if it is not him. He longs for this woman to return to his life, but he knows the time has passed. "Who's a-gonna glove your little hands? Who's a-gonna kiss your sweet little lips, Honey, who's a-gonna be your man? I love you till the sea runs dry, And the rocks all melt in the sun. I love you till the day I die, Though you will never be my own. A-rovin' on a winter's night And a-drinkin' good old wine, Thinkin' about that pretty little girl, That broke this heart of mine..." Over the years, many artists have covered the Doc Watson classic. While many stellar versions are out there, Billy Strings' take on this classic tune is worthy of a chef's kiss. He delicately picks his acoustic and delivers the lyrics in a way that sounds almost like a lullaby. It's the most soothing delivery of a heartbreak ballad I've ever heard. This is one of those videos where you need to turn it up, close your eyes, and enjoy it. It scratches your brain in all the right places, and I think you'll quickly find it on repeat.
