Free Music Review: Simply Amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is amazing. its for shure the best doc album right up with home sweet home. It starts of with the first song doc ever learned on the banjo (his first instrument after the harmonica), and from there it is some what chronological, starting with old time ballads and foot stompers and ending with full band arangements and merle's masterpeice; thoughts of never. It is full of merle tearing it up on the slide guitar and has a bunch of songs where doc kills the banjo clawhammer style. There are songs with drums, fiddle and even fender rhodes piano on a couple. Cloumbus stockade is a standout dark and roudy number, and moody river will break anyones heart thats not a complete idiot. Merle plays a real pritty slide guitar on miss the mississippi next to doc's real, real pritty singing. Anyways, this cd is full of serious heart breakers and roudy numbers that will have you hitting the bottle and letting out rebel yells. This is the best doc watson album ever.
Memories Poster
In an interview, Doc Watson once intimated that this 1975 album remains among his favorites, and it's easy to see why. The whole range of his musical world is here: the spangling old-time banjo that begins the album; the a cappella traditional "Wake Up, Little Maggie"; the flowing, stately vocals throughout; the happy harmonica; the speed and lightness of his acoustic flat-picking--so effortless, so impossible to duplicate. Every arrangement is tasteful and easygoing: sometimes just guitar and bass, but also a welcome, tight country combo incorporating drums and steel guitar, as well as son Merle's hot lead playing. The material shows that Watson is never bound by traditional purism. He's as at home with a Western swing number such as "Hang Your Head in Shame" or a commercial country number from the '50s such as "Moody River" as he is with a Carter Family or Bill Monroe tune. And the interpretations are never perfunctory. "Columbus Stockade Blues," for one, is completely reshaped into a driving ensemble piece. Diverse as they are, Watson's memories are the stuff of musical magic. --Roy KastenCountry Music CDs
