Movie Reviews of Doc and Merle Watson in Concert
Movie Review: Father And Son Make Beautiful Music Together
Summary: 5 Stars
Doc Watson is one of the true treasures of American folk music. He is known for his virtuoso guitar playing and distinctive vocals. But what I especially love about Doc is his choice of songs, bringing to the public some of the all time great classics and overlooked gems in the canon of American traditional music.
This concert is from 1980 and Doc is joined by his son, Merle Watson, on guitar and Michael Coleman on bass. They play a wide range of traditional tunes, including "Sweet Georgia Brown", "Wild Bill Jones" and "I Miss The Mississippi And You", closing with a harmonica medley of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "Dixie".
The concert is interspersed with an interview from Doc's home in Deep Gap, North Carolina and, following the show, there is an additional "bonus" interview with Doc from 1999. This is terrific stuff from one of the greats of American music. Highly recommended!
