Doc was a flat picker's picker. I got to see him a couple of times and was amazed by his talent. He did not play a lot of "fancy" things, but he did play straight on country music damn perfectly. He will live on in our hearts for a long time.
Absolutely incredible man, Doc Watson. I love this song, 1st person I heard play it was my Dad. Different key, but same song. I played it at his funeral
I've loved this music all my life. There's something special about I'll call it roots music. Little blues, little country. Little folk. This is too he original American music
Man both of these men could make you want to throw your guitar away, either one of them could make a better sound that I can get by throwing a guitar down the stairs than I can get on my best day. RIP peace Doc, from the first time I heard you til today you have given me so much pleasure I cannot truly express it, if I could I would write a song about it.
MAN that vocal phrasing! It's amazing how he plays in time yet sings all over and around the beat as if he did one then overdubbed the other. He is Doc Watson though.
Not sorry to say this but Lightnin Sam Hopkins had Watson beat 1000000000 to 0 on this song. Watson again thinkin' he could sing.Blind ol' peckerwood should have stayed home that day and forever.
Just listened to the Hopkins version and he isn't in the same league as Watson who could outplay him with one hand tied behind his back...on the vocals...that is all debatable. To even say that a blind man doesn't know about the blues tells more about you than him. When Whitey gets enough of the 6 1/2 % of the general population (Black males in America) doesn't amount to much in terms of a threat...but to hear the noise that they make, one would think they are 99% of the population...quit whining and make YOUR life better racist.

Doc has a beautiful blues voice.
Doc just casually runs those base licks that punctuate the music. Man, he was beyond great!

How I would have loved to have met this man. It is said that my dad picked some music with him in Lenour, N.C.
Damn that boy can pick.

Terrible audio. I miss Doc anyway...
Frankly, the other guitarist ruined the song.
Delete your ignorant comment, sir!
That's his grandson Richard. They are both dead now. Leave them alone and go practice your picking.

We get it...you hate Whitey.
