▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Son Merle Watson gets top billing along with his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ dad on this superior release of acoustic mountain ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music, but it is really a group effort in which the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ smooth mastery of Doc Watson serves as a kind of a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ picture frame for each of the musical canvases ▓▌
▓████▓▌ included. The album title might indicate some ▓▌
▓████▓▌ limitation in the material, but the concept of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "blues" has always been a bit more open in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ white, Appalachian tradition than in Afro-American ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music. For example, one of the chord changes in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Freight Train Blues" would have probably made ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Muddy Waters want to jump out in front of one. Of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ course, a great amount of work has gone into ▓▌
▓████▓▌ segregating black and white music throughout the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ United States, with the Appalachian area absolutely ▓▌
▓████▓▌ no exception. Jesse Helms would no doubt be proud ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of how much energy has gone into making it seem ▓▌
▓████▓▌ like the black and white musicians of his home ▓▌
▓████▓▌ state of North Carolina had absolutely nothing to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ do with each other over the years. What we have ▓▌
▓████▓▌ here is really a delightful blend of several ▓▌
▓████▓▌ different blues traditions, transcending the stupid ▓▌
▓████▓▌ questions of race as if it were a bit of dust that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ can be blown off a the phonograph needle. Some of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the music is quite swinging, such as "Carroll ▓▌
▓████▓▌ County Blues," the fiddle playing of Sam Bush ▓▌
▓████▓▌ evoking more the clean sound of jazz violinists ▓▌
▓████▓▌ than the rugged tone of old-time fiddlers. "Stormy ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Weather" comes from the catalog of vocal jazz ▓▌
▓████▓▌ classics that are strongly influenced by blues, but ▓▌
▓████▓▌ actually have their own harmonic structure that is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ quite different from typical blues. Watson is such ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a fine vocalist that he is able to make a number ▓▌
▓████▓▌ such as this sound relatively fresh, no doubt ▓▌
▓████▓▌ helped by a blend of acoustic instruments not ▓▌
▓████▓▌ normally associated with this type of tune. But ▓▌
▓████▓▌ whatever style the players take on, everything is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ performed beautifully with deep feeling, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ comfortable tempos, and inspired picking that is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ never simply grandstanding. Fans of acoustic guitar ▓▌
▓████▓▌ will love this record ù the instruments are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded beautifully, especially in that warm, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sonorous mid-register ▓▌
