Down To Deep Gap: A Doc Watson Collection

IMG_7768.JPG

Deep Gap, a small community just a little ways off the highway leading up the mountain into Boone, NC is where the leaves first take to their fall splendor around this time of year and where the old man with the only gas pump for the next 20 miles tells stories about seeing Bill Monroe play at his schoolhouse. Back in the holler lived a man by the name of Arthel Lane Watson, blind since his first birthday and one of the finest flatpicking guitar players and country blues singers that ever graced the planet. Better known as Doc Watson, he used his guitar and voice to depict life in the American South and Appalachian Mountains; praise for the good Lord, hard work on the farm, and love for the prettiest miss. We've whittled a collection of our favorite Doc songs. Enjoy, love thy neighbor, and God bless.
