About
Produced by Billy Strings and Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Mac Miller, Aimee Mann) and recorded between Nashville and Los Angeles, Highway Prayers consists of 20 tracks that showcase Strings' boundary-pushing musicianship and dynamic performances including stand-outs "Gild the Lily" and "Seven Weeks in County." Widely celebrated by fans and critics alike, upon its release the album became the first bluegrass album to reach No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Top Album Sales chart since the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack in 2002 and led GQ to call Strings, “the hottest roots-music phenomenon in decades," while Pitchfork praised, “the bluegrass wunderkind expands his palette, exploring new textures and emotional registers while staying true to his beloved genre."
