Doc Watson – Doc Watson [Deep River Blue Vinyl]

The 1964 solo debut record from Doc Watson didnt just define guitar flat-picking for his generation and those to come (check Black Mountain Rag), but it also straddled American music traditions with amazing aplomb. Just try classifying this record: is it folk? Country? Bluegrass? The truth is, its all of those things, and more. Its hilarious (Intoxicated Rat), mournful (Little Omie Wise), defiantly joyful (Sittin on Top of the World), starkly existential (Country Blues), and even goofy (Born About Six Thousand Years Ago). But most of all, its Doc Watson, the first and perhaps most lasting salvo from an American music giant. And, as such, its one of the fundamental albums of American roots music, and a profound and deeply enjoyable listening experience. We at Real Gone Music are proud to bring you this all-time classic in its original mono, pressed in deep river blue vinyl at Gotta Groove Records.A1. Nashville Blues A2.
