Our Take
Our Take
Folk legend Doc Watson’s latest release from The Bottom Line Archive Series is a delightful romp through Americana goodness. With his signature flatpicking style and soulful vocals, Watson showcases his timeless talent in this live recording.
From the moment he kicks off with “Sitting on Top of the World,” you know you’re in for a treat. Watson effortlessly blends traditional folk tunes with classic country numbers, keeping the audience on their toes throughout the set. It’s like a musical rollercoaster ride, with Watson at the controls, guiding us through highs and lows with his expert musicianship.
The real standout moments come in Watson’s heartfelt renditions of “Blue Railroad Train” and “Tennessee Stud,” where his storytelling abilities truly shine. The audience hangs on his every word, transported to a simpler time when music was king.
What’s most impressive about this album is the raw energy and emotion that Watson brings to every performance. It’s clear that he’s not just playing the music – he’s living it, breathing it, and sharing it with all of us lucky listeners.
In a world of overproduced, cookie-cutter music, Doc Watson stands out as a true original. This album is a testament to his enduring talent and a must-listen for fans of authentic, no-frills folk music. So grab a pint, sit back, and let Doc Watson take you on a musical journey you won’t soon forget. Cheers to that!

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 With a name reminiscent of a bygone era, Doc Watson is anything but outdated.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.
