Best in the Baggie — Beta Testers Wanted

Every Billy Strings fan has that version. The one that still gives you chills three years later. The 20-minute jam you send to anyone who thinks bluegrass can’t get weird.

Best in the Baggie is a free site (no ads, no premium tier, no paywall) built for exactly that: finding the hottest version of any song, and arguing about it—

  1. Top-rated version of every song Billy’s played live.

  2. Rate versions 1–5 goats, plus one 10-goat favorite per song.

  3. Sort by length when you want the deep ones.

  4. Save favorites for easy recall.

  5. Nugs button launches the app straight from your phone.

  6. No Nugs? Sample top-rated versions on Archive.org.

Here’s the thing: a site like this only works if enough people rank versions. So before launching publicly, I’m keeping it small and testing with a handful of real fans first — especially anyone who keeps a spreadsheet, a list, or a running catalog of their favorites.
