DOC WATSON - BEST OF: 1964-1968 (PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS) - CD Few musicians are as adept as Doc Watson is at making the remarkable seem routine. Song after song on this 23-track label retrospective demonstrates effortless flat-picking virtuosity. Listen to the fleet, precise picking on Beaumont Rag, and youll immediately recognize why the North Carolinians skills are the envy of just about anyone whos ever tried to master folk guitar. Yet his plainspoken baritone vocals on Tennessee Stud, Shady Grove, Little Sadie, and others speak of his devotion to his songs. Watson in his prime could play rings around just about any picker alive, but hes never gone in for hollow showboating. Culled from six of the nine albums Watson recorded for Vanguard between 1964 and 1971 (though the most recent inclusions here are from 1968), this album is a condensed alternative to the four-disc Vanguard Years box set. Four previously unreleased tunes add to the value of this worthy intro to an American master. --Steven Stolder
