Highway Prayers by Billy Strings
Highway Prayers is an album by Billy Strings, released in 2024. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 17 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Gild The Lily”, on 15 lists with a best position of #5.
Highway Prayers, Billy Strings' fourth studio album, came out on Reprise on September 27, 2024, with the bluegrass guitar hotshot co-producing alongside Jon Brion, a pairing that lets the picking dazzle while the songs breathe. There's plenty of fleet-fingered fire, and "Gild the Lily" and "Leadfoot" give his voice as much room as his hands.
It went to number 22 on the Billboard 200 and topped both the Top Album Sales and Bluegrass Albums charts. Then, in February 2026, it won the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album, his third win in that category after Home and Live Vol. 1.
