Our Take

Ah, Doc Watson, the man with more strings on his guitar than he has teeth in his mouth. This self-titled album is a delightful blend of old-timey bluegrass and folk, with Watson's fingerpicking skills shining brighter than a banjo in the summer sun.

From the moment the record starts spinning, you're transported to the back porch of a rustic cabin in the Appalachian Mountains, where you can almost smell the moonshine brewing in the distance. Watson's smooth vocals and intricate guitar work are a testament to his decades of experience in the music industry.

Tracks like "Black Mountain Rag" and "Tennessee Stud" will have you tapping your feet and clapping your hands, while slower tunes like "Miss the Mississippi and You" will tug at your heartstrings like a banjo player tuning up before a hoedown.

If you're a fan of traditional American music and skilled musicianship, then Doc Watson's debut album is a must-have for your collection. So grab a jug of moonshine, kick back in your rocking chair, and let the sweet sounds of Doc Watson take you on a ride through the hills and hollers of the South. Cheers to that, y'all.

About the artist

Doc Watson

DOC WATSON: The man, the myth, the legend. With a name reminiscent of a bygone era, Doc Watson is anything but outdated. This American folk legend has been strumming his way into our hearts for decades, captivating audiences with his soulful voice and mesmerising guitar skills. Born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Doc Watson's music is deeply rooted in his Appalachian heritage. His distinctive blend of folk, bluegrass, and blues has earned him a dedicated following and a slew of accolades, including seven Grammy Awards and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Endowment for the Arts. But what truly sets Doc Watson apart is his unparalleled storytelling ability. Each song is a journey, a glimpse into a world filled with heartache, joy, and everything in between. From the haunting balladry of "Shady Grove" to the rollicking energy of "Black Mountain Rag," Doc Watson's music is a testament to the power of storytelling through song. And let's not forget his live performances. With his trademark flat-picking style and effortless stage presence, Doc Watson is a force to be reckoned with. Whether he's playing to a sold-out crowd at the Grand Ole Opry or a small, intimate venue, Doc Watson never fails to leave his audience in awe. In a music industry saturated with auto-tuned mediocrity, Doc Watson is a shining beacon of authenticity. So sit back, relax, and let the music of this living legend wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
