Our Take
Our Take
Willie Watson, former member of Old Crow Medicine Show, serves up a hearty dose of folk goodness in his latest album, "Folk Singer Vol. 1." Watson's gravelly vocals transport you to a time when folk music ruled the airwaves and beards were mandatory.
From the first twang of the banjo in the opening track, "Midnight Special," you know you're in for a wild ride. Watson's soulful delivery and intricate fingerpicking make every song feel like a campfire singalong with an old friend.
Tracks like "Gallows Pole" and "On the Road Again" showcase Watson's ability to breathe new life into traditional folk songs, while originals like "Bring It With You When You Come" and "Stewball" prove that he's more than just a cover artist.
The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix. The banjo, fiddle, and guitar all take turns sharing the spotlight, creating a rich tapestry of sound that will keep you coming back for more.
Overall, "Folk Singer Vol. 1" is a triumph for Willie Watson. It's a reminder that good old-fashioned folk music is alive and well, and in the hands of a talented artist like Watson, it's never sounded better. So grab your banjo, pour yourself a whiskey, and give this album a spin. You won't be disappointed.
