Hello City Limits is a song that I don't remember hearing before I heard Billy & the boys play it in Austin in 2023. A good Austin song & one that doesn't have a lot of covers. BMFSDB.com says Billy's played it for the first time in Austin the previous year at ACL Fest and have played it only 34 times as of this writing. Secondhandsongs.com doesn't list many covers. While it may be a lesser-played song in Billy's catalog, it's one of my favorite covers. Something about "Left all my worries way behind, left all my troubles and heartaches there too, hello, city limits, I’m starting out brand new" that appeals. Here's a killer Less Than Face video of the boys getting after it.
Here's a cool video of Alex playing it with Michael Daves:
And here's Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper tearing it up (and I mean tearing it up). I heard this today & decided it was time for a Billy Covers post.
