I will always cherish the memory of the one time I saw Doc and Merle in concert: at Van Wezel Hall in Sarasota, FL, in 1977. Some wannabe good old boys were up in the balcony making a racket, and Doc smiled, turned his sightless eyes in their direction, and said, "Now you boys up there settle down. I remember my first beer too." Silence prevailed instantly!

Even the 'Bad' ones were bery good. I got to meet him in about 1968. I was a thrill!

I specifically found a vinyl copy of this album the last time this album came down off youtube. i cannot live without it! Doc's interpretation of these classic songs give me goosebumps on EVERY listen. spread the love.

I'm just getting into playing some real Bluegrass these days and Doc Watson is right up my street, genuine and authentic and talented. He's exactly what I've been looking for. He's an inspiration to folk like me who are just finding out about the genuine Bluegrass tradition. Love it! 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🎶🎸

this was my intro to Doc in the 70's - what a flawless masterpiece

I have loved Doc Watson forever. Saw him once in concert. Wish I could have seen him more.

Must’ve been incredible

A genuine master of his trade and and inspiration to many others who followed behind him. I never get tired of listening to him and every single day I find more and more of the wonderful music he has left us to enjoy and remember him by. KZread you're brilliant.

Beautiful man and magic music..

I saw him in Eureka Springs, Arkansas a few years ago. One of the best acoustic players I've ever heard.

My favorite Doc album! Bought this years ago and lost it, had to pay like $20+ on amazon to find another copy. WORTH IT. Its still in my CD player :)

How can anyone dislike this 😡

Doc is the best!!

I'd say the greatest covers album ever recorded, though most are uncredited and just old classic folk songs. Amazing album.

Inspirational music from the finest to record it. For the rest of time he will be heard, hundreds of years from now. Job done Doc.. ♥️

The best Doc Watson album of all. I played the crap out of it.

Agree, did the same ... , although his "On Stage" album matches this ...

A favorite since I first heard it, learned Peartree as quick as my feeble fingers could, and still play it today, less feebly.

doc was truly an american treasure the definition of a flatpicker and naster of guitar there wil never be another like him rip to a true american hero

Doc Watson does it all...his talent is truly amazing and I really love his voice!!!

the great doc watson

Born in Alabama in 1962. This music takes me back to a different time

This best album! My favorite

Simply DOC SIMPLELY GREAT !!!

Here’s a true story. Ralph Stanley looked at that photo of Doc and said: “Look here, Doc is trying to look like Abe Lincoln.” I resisted the urge to tell him that Doc most likely didn’t know how Lincoln looked or for that matter how Doc looked.

On the album cover of "Square Deal in Nashville" Doc is holding a hand of poker cards as if he were reading them, and on the cover of "Docabilly" he is driving the convertible.

ドクも息子も死んじまったが、音楽は永遠に残るのーーーー。オイラはアマチュアのシンガーだが、自らが歌い続けることで、現世に足跡を残そう。

Great album of Doc's I picked up in the early 80,s. Sadly, I've no record player these days so this is a great discovery for me. There are too many superb tracks for me to mention any in particular. I'm so glad ti find this.

My gosh dang heart, Doc rips

Thanks. This is a great album. Curly Headed Baby is phenomenal as are the Jimmy Rodgers songs.

Greatly appreciated . . . thanks!

For the Intro alone is worth any price. Thanks Daddy.

Finally. I find it. Thank you very much.

Thanks for posting this

This is the the sound of American history.

Now, ya gotta listen to this this...

OMFG! Thank you for posting this record - it's been down for so long, and super expensive to buy on CD. This is the best Doc record. His version of "My Rose of Old Kentucky" is one my favorite. Thanks again!

Bill Sikes So many of the versions on here are the best ones I've heard by Doc. The band is also so, so good. It's a fabulous album. I havena heard quite all of his albums, but it's the best of all that I have head, and own.

He looks like Abraham Lincoln

Just my take but I always preferred Doc Watson's cover of "Moody River" over Pat Boone's. Not to decry Pat's version, however.

Does anyone know the name of a Doc Watson song that has lyrics “ I’m not the doctor but the doctors son, but I’ll cure your ills till the doctor comes”. Or something close to that. Thanks.

What is the relationship between Wabash Cannonball and Woody Guthrie's Farmer Labor Train?

@ProfesserLuigi

4 жыл бұрын

Wabash Cannonball is the original, far as I can find. Woody Guthrie was, as per Pete Seeger, really good at taking a tune and putting new words in them. Even his most famous song "This Land is Your Land" is based on the music of "Little Darling, Pal of Mine", changed just a bit. Of course, this is not to diminish Woody any. Frankly, his renditions often improved upon the originals.

thx someone stole me my disc

I like Doc, but this isn't one of his best albums.
