Our Take

Ah, Doc Watson & Son, the legendary duo that has been enchanting audiences for decades with their timeless Americana sound. This album, a delightful collection of folk and bluegrass tunes, is a delightful reminder of the musical prowess that runs in the family.

From the moment the needle drops on the first track, you are transported to a world where twangy guitars and heartfelt vocals reign supreme. Doc Watson's signature fingerpicking style is on full display here, while his son Gene adds a youthful energy to the mix.

Standout tracks include the toe-tapping "Shady Grove" and the bittersweet "Love Please Come Home," both of which showcase the duo's impeccable harmonies and instrumental skills. Each song feels like a warm hug from a dear friend, inviting you to sit back, relax, and bask in the beauty of pure, unadulterated music.

But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibe of this album - there is a depth and complexity to the Watsons' music that reveals itself upon closer examination. The intricate melodies and heartfelt lyrics paint a picture of a life well-lived, filled with love, loss, and everything in between.

Overall, Doc Watson & Son is a true gem of an album that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, and let the soothing sounds of this timeless duo wash over you. Cheers to the Watsons - may their music continue to inspire generations to come.
