Billy StringsGrammy-winning American bluegrass guitarist and singer-songwriter from Muir, Michigan

• Strings described the song 'Still I Crash' as written days after his mother's death about learning to stand on his own.

  “How I just feel like I got to learn how to walk all over again. I feel like a baby deer and my legs are all wobbly”

• Strings said the album cover is the unfinished collage his mother was working on the night she died.

  “this was actually the piece that she was working on the night that she died because she was always going to make the next record cover that was kind of our deal”

• Strings said the album title came from not getting a chance to say goodbye to his mother, while his manager read it as a more hopeful farewell-for-now.

  “I kept wanting to call it So Much for Goodbyes, and I was thinking about that for a while because I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to my mother”
