Doc Watson, RIP

The great guitarist Doc Watson, who started his career in a rockabilly band then found an appreciative audience playing at folk festivals, has died at age 89. Listen, relish, mourn:

If you don't have any of his recordings, a good place to start is 1972's Elementary Doctor Watson! Few bluegrass albums are as good as this one, and I'm not sure any are better.

Fuck off, slaver.

Not THAT kind of folk festivals. lol Mostly blue-grass festivals and such. Good Red Meat salt of the earth types.

Thanks for making mention of Doc, Jesse. One of the highlights of my life is having my name on the same poster as Doc for a gig. There were about 30 other peoples' names on there too because it was a festival, but it makes no difference. I got to share a piece of a day with Doc Watson.

Here's Doc with the only other two American pickers that could hold a candle to him, Tony Rice and Norman Blake. It's an old time tune:

Amen to that. I don't know where that was that Doc and Tony and Norman were together but wherever it was it was the ground freakin' zero of flat picking.

Throw Mark O'Connor in there, and you have something going on.

Damn! I saw him live probably 15 times. Loved the man.

These guys make a whole lot of sense man, Wow.
