Free Music Review: Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson Folkways 1960-1962
Hit: 3 Stars

This CD collection is on the okay status with me. It is not a very good viewing of either of these gentlemen. It makes both of them look and sound like not good entertainers when they really are. There are also alot of older 1920's songs on here that were re-worded and were smashed to smitharines. I would not recommend this to anyone and besides to me it is to modern in musical ways also. Bad example of both of them.

Clarence Ashley And Doc Watson: The Original Folkways Recordings, 1960-1962 [2-CD Set] Poster

With 20 previously unreleased performances, many rare photos, and producer Ralph Rinzler's comprehensive notes, this is the definitive collection of two earlier volumes entitled Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's. These LP's introduced the world to Doc Watson and played an important role in the folk revival of the '60s. Featured are Gaither Carlton, Clint Howard, Fred Price, Jack Burchett, and others. Compiled by Ralph Rinzler, Matt Walters and Jeff Place. Annotated by Ralph Rinzler. "Soul pours out of these unschooled folk musicians..." -- SF Chronicle
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
