Doc Watson
hot platter! FOUNDATION: DOC WATSON GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL COLLECTION, 1964-98: Few guitarists -- for that matter, few musicians -- have inspired and influenced as many players as Doc Watson has. Doc's music redefined what the acoustic steel-string guitar could do, and set a standard for taste that's still hard to beat. Sixteen of Doc's best instrumentals are collected here from his Vanguard and Sugar Hill albums. Some are solo, some with his son Merle, and some with a band. Most are flatpicking, with a few fingerpicked numbers thrown in. All are pure Doc Watson! Tunes include "Black Mountain Rag," "Windy & Warm," "Doc's Guitar," "Cannonball Rag," "Salt River/Bill Cheatham," and "June Apple." As Dan Crary's perceptive liner notes say, "Doc's playing is blazing virtuosity and homespun country; deceptively simple and deeply subtle; smooth grace and raw energy."
