When I first heard Billy, it didn't take long for me to imagine him playing with Fleck and Thile.
Woot!
To top it off, it's the fiddler (I'm thinking Michael Cleveland) who really stands out. Smokin'.
The video ain't much, and is repetitious. But the tune is straight up Bela.
I recommend getting DFC relative to your speakers (or some good headphones), and turning it up.

Michael sits in now and then with Strings. A brilliant player and prodigy, he's been a big deal in the bluegrass circles for most of his life. His band Flamekeeper is pretty solid traditional bluegrass. Not sure if he's still doing it but he was offering fiddle tutoring sessions online at the beginning of the pandemic.
Here's Michael shredding with Doc Watson

Thx! I'll be looking him up.
I watched the video for about two minutes; then closed my eyes and listened, interrupting with an occasional "Holy fuck!"
