A big fat yes!!!!
Had the pleasure to see Doc and Merle at a bluegrass festival in VA back in early 80’s. So so good once Doc got his guitar tuned just the way he wanted it.
You Lucky Duck! I wish I had been there too!
Yes!
Is not this the one of the songs that KPIG Radio used to play as a space filler during commercials that they could not stream?
It could have been, but I think they used sounds of woods and winds, or some such, for the most part...boy that goes back years.
My rating 8 - Most Excellent
Managed to see him on his last Merlefest, many years ago. Tedeschi Trucks killed it that night too!
RP and their listeners comments are some music nuggets waiting to be found !! Thanks so much !
What a gig ... Merlefest 2012 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csP2YCLutzo
Today it was
1. Nick
2. Doc
Pretty good either way
Thank you RP for playing him.
Gah! Now Doc is followed by...Nick Drake! See comments below.

Rather than a segue to Nick Drake, which I see you've done before, you might like this into Little Martha (Eddie Adcock has a killer version) or Beppe Gambetta's Shenandoah Mountain Breakdown, or his cover of Norman Blake's Church Street Blues, or maybe Greenhouse era Leo Kottke. Loving it here in the Blue Ridge. Thanks.

————————————-> Today the order is reverse : first Doc Watson and then Nick Drake :) Not really the best combination imho. Doc Watson brings a soft, positive mood and Nick Drake gives something melancholic and slow that brings the mood a bit down, which is unwelcoming after the uplifting effect of Doc Watson ...
I've heard better pickers, more proficient classical guitarists, but DW has undeniable charm and a skill level way beyond the norm in his era.
This is good music.
Edit: Didn't mean to demean Doc Watson, but there are some truly gifted guitarists today, however, none of them will have the same impact that Chet and Doc did.Exactly my thoughts. Us would be guitarists in 67 we're trying to master that riff. Never succeeded personally but this one is a good take on it
If you saw them I am in awe...oh what a delight...
Why don't they run this kind of tripe at 4AM when no one is listening anyways?
got a great idea, why don't you and that other idiot get together and kill each other off, make a good bluegrass tune.......just a thought.
Blasphemy !

I agree with NeilB here, the bass is focused on the right channel, but I noticed no issues with my cans (Senn HD 518s).
Hi Dave,
I didn't notice any issues — the upright bass is more in the right channel. My AKG K-501's sound fine. :)

Oh gawd, the trials and tribulations of being 14.......
"Doc pickin "Deep River Blues" in his beautiful Merle Travis influenced style."
"who says white guys cant play blues "
Leo Kottke - "Deep River Blues" Live (1997)
From Sessions At West 54th Dec 1997.
"Absolutely incredible stuff. Wow."
The pride of Deep Gap, NC. Nice!
One thing I really like about PR is the range - from Doc Watson through Talking Heads to Talvin Singh - all in the course of an hour or so. Pretty cool, actually.
or you could just go put on your latest rehashed corporate indie rock disc and stfu
How can it be both corporate and indie?

But then I wouldn't be able to hear it, nor would the other hundreds of listeners who enjoy it.

Wiki says: "At the age of nine, Mitchell contracted polio during a Canadian epidemic, but recovered after a stay in the hospital. It was during this time that she first became interested in singing."
It left her with some difficulties, such as tiring easily. It's one reason she does not tour extensively. I think it also contributes to the 'breathy' quality of her voice: some people can't stand it, but I like it.

Me too, what you said cc_.
And this guy? Oy gevalt!
The word "eclectic" mean anything to you, bub?

Sheesh, you guys are sensitive. It was just a joke: obviously some of the finest musicians EVER just happen to be blind or otherwise handicapped. Hmmm, let's see: Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Doc Watson, Art Tatum, Jose Feliciano, Ronnie Milsap, (Blind) Lemon Jefferson, The (Blind) Boys of Alabama, Django Reinhart (missing fingers), Joni Mitchell and Itzak Perlman (polio), the list goes on and on.
If there was a way to trade my sight for their talent, it'd be an easy decision.
Peace,
