Billy Strings - So Much For Goodbyes

So Much For Goodbyes is a deeply personal album from Billy Strings, created during a period of grief following the death of his mother, Debra Apostol. Produced by T Bone Burnett, the record channels loss, memory and reflection through Strings’ remarkable musicianship, while retaining the adventurous approach to bluegrass, country, folk and roots music that has made him one of the genre’s most distinctive modern artists.

The album finds Strings using songwriting and guitar playing as a way of processing grief rather than simply documenting it. His mother’s artwork also appears on the sleeve, giving the record an additional personal connection. Across its expansive collection of songs, So Much For Goodbyes combines traditional acoustic instrumentation with searching, emotionally direct songwriting, making it one of the most intimate records in his catalogue.
