Man, I tell you what, man, that dang ol’ Billy Strings, he done went and made himself a bluegrass version of that theme song, man, talkin’ ’bout that “Yahoos and Triangles,” you know, man, from that show, man, dang ol’ King of the Hill.
Strings has covered the theme song a number of times over the years, but this recorded version is his first official contribution to the show, appearing over the end credits during a new episode of the surprisingly good Hulu revival. The instrumentation is crisp and refreshing, but the clear highlight is Strings’ ripping guitar solo. As Jam Base reports, the track includes contributions from Strings’ regular band, including mandolinist Jarrod Walker, banjo player Billy Failing, bassist Royal Masat, fiddler Alex Hargreaves, drummer Jamie Dick, banjoist Russ Carson, and fiddler Billy Contreras.

Earlier this summer, Strings performed an emotional concert just hours after his mother’s death, “because that’s what my mom would’ve wanted me to do.”
