Review:
A brilliant box
This is a simply brilliant compilation of some of Doc
Watson's great recordings from 1963-1971.
The music and playing doesn't need much comment from me;
Watson was a magnificent guitarist and musician and his virtuosity in many
places is just breathtaking. It's not
just virtuosity for its own sake, though; he really gives every song meaning
life with his guitar work and the effect is just great from start to finish.
The sound is generally very good. Some of the older recordings do show their
age slightly, but the playing is so good, who cares? This is a great box, showcasing a genuinely
great guitarist; it's an absolute pleasure throughout and very, very warmly
recommended.
