CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com When blind singer/guitarist Arthel "Doc" Watson was "discovered" by folklorist Ralph Rinzler in 1960 he sounded as though he'd been picking for a hundred years, not to mention the fact that his huge repertoire of old songs seemed like it could go on for days. Watson had actually been playing in a honky-tonk band when Rinzler came across him in Deep Gap, North Carolina. When he asked Doc to set down his electric guitar he created one of the first--and most lasting--stars of the folk revival. Ashley was already a mountain music legend himself when he cut these front-porch sessions; picking a fine banjo and singing along on one standard--like "Shady Grove" and "Peg and Awl"--after another. --Michael Ruby Similar CDs

CD ReviewsClarence Ashley/Doc Watson Review Anthony M. Pisano | Pittston, PA United States | 12/18/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "I'm a big Doc Watson fan and was expecting more vocals from Doc. The CD featured more Ashley and less Doc than I expected. I was somewhat disappointed. If you're buying this CD because your an Ashley fan then I'd think that you'll find it satisfying. On the other hand, if you're getting it because you want to hear Doc, then you may be less than satisfied." American Music for the Desert Island Michael Collins | Ridgewood, NJ United States | 08/26/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "These recordings with Doc & Clarence Ashley are as good as American folk/old-time music gets. And the performances are truly timeless -- it could've been 1910 or 1960 or 2010. When you've had it with flash-in-the-pan, here-today-forgotten-tomorrow dreck that's on eMpTV and the radio, then put on this disk & enjoy the music." Wonderful research!! Roger A. Bolt | Sonoma County | 10/15/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "In researching the original and ealiest recording of House of the Rising Sun for a recording project my search led me here to hear Clarence Ashley who orignaly recorded it as Rising Sun Blues in 1933. He got it from his music archivist father who appearantly found something of an old English ballad as a possable source. Doc Watson recorded it again with Ashley in this wonderful collection of musical heritage. Great collect of Americana/folk & blues...Highly recommended."
