Doc Watson "Deep River Blues"

Of all the words that will be written about the passing of perhaps the most influential roots/Americana guitar players of all time, none speaks to who Doc Watson was, more than his own words.

At his request, the life-sized statue of Doc Watson that sits in Boone, North Carolina, has this inscription:

"Just One Of The Guys."



Thanks Doc.  Thanks for everything.


Hear the song on Youtube.

You can find 7 different Doc Watson performances in the mvyradio archives under "D," including sets with The Nashville Bluegrass Band and "A Tribute To Merle," his late son.
