4.0 out of 5 stars Finally, Old Southern Mountain Music As I Remember!, July 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Songs From the Southern Mountains (Audio CD)

This is the music I remember from my youth. Sounds authentic, rough, guitar playing is excellent, some of the vocals are truly "country". If you want a real sample of real music, this is it. I checked online about this guy ... he really is from the southern mountains (western North Carolina) and nearly 80 years old now, though apparently these recordings are 35 years old or so.

I've been a big fan of Doc and his music for more than 20 years and I just love him. He's not only an amazing picker and singer but also a wonderful and kindhearted human being. I can hardly put into words how much joy he have brought into my life with his music. He really is the true voice of America, and this album is just great and wonderful!

This "guy" is Doc Watson, the one and only. Never was there a more genuine North Carolina mountain picker and singer! These songs are wonderful!
