Our Take

In the latest offering from legendary folk musician Doc Watson, "Sittin On Top Of The World," the octogenarian proves that age is just a number when it comes to talent.

From the moment he picks up his guitar, Watson's skill and presence are undeniable. His smooth vocals and intricate fingerpicking transport listeners to a bygone era of mountain music, where storytelling reigns supreme.

The album kicks off with the upbeat title track, setting the tone for a journey through old-timey tunes and heartfelt ballads. Watson's cover of the classic "Blue Ridge Mountain Blues" is a standout, showcasing his ability to breathe new life into traditional songs.

Throughout the album, Watson's deft instrumentation and soulful delivery are a reminder of why he is considered a master of his craft. Tracks like "Deep River Blues" and "Tennessee Stud" highlight his ability to capture the essence of American roots music with effortless charm.

While some may view Watson's style as nostalgic, there's no denying the timeless quality of his music. "Sittin On Top Of The World" is a testament to Watson's enduring talent and serves as a reminder of the magic that can be found in simplicity.

In a world filled with flashy production and over-the-top performances, Doc Watson's "Sittin On Top Of The World" is a breath of fresh mountain air. Sit back, relax, and let this album be your soundtrack to simpler times.
