You Lucky Duck!  I wish I had been there too!

I'm hearing the opening of Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon in there occasionally (or the reverse, obviously, given the dates!). Just one of those little earworms that stuck its head out...

I guess this is just a little reality check/reminder for those of us who were marveling over the guitar playing of Mark Knopfler on that previous Dire Straits song. :-)

Well that was jarring after Ride Across the river (Dire Straits)

Is not this the one of the songs that KPIG Radio used to play as a space filler during commercials that they could not stream? 


It could have been, but I think they used sounds of woods and winds, or some such, for the most part...boy that goes back years.

Looks like RP likes to pair this with Nick Drake.

Today it was
1.  Nick
2. Doc
Pretty good either way
Posted 6 years ago by radioparadise9    [ Reply ]
Nice version. Only version I've heard until now was that of Tommy Emmanuel, so I was wondering who wrote this song. It appears to be John Loudermilk. But Chet Atkins recorded it.

Doc is one of my favorites!
Thank you RP for playing him.

Saw Doc and Merle at a concert on my birthday at Uni. I didn't know who they were but it was free. Lucky me.

Gah! Now Doc is followed by...Nick Drake!  See comments below.

Bill,
Rather than a segue to Nick Drake, which I see you've done before, you might like this into Little Martha (Eddie Adcock has a killer version) or Beppe Gambetta's Shenandoah Mountain Breakdown, or his cover of Norman Blake's Church Street Blues, or maybe Greenhouse era Leo Kottke. Loving it here in the Blue Ridge. Thanks.

Blasphemy !

————————————-> Today the order is reverse : first Doc Watson and then Nick Drake :) Not really the best combination imho. Doc Watson brings a soft, positive mood and Nick Drake gives something melancholic and slow that brings the mood a bit down, which is unwelcoming after the uplifting effect of Doc Watson ...

Cool and Breezy here...but always love some Doc to say goodnight to...

Happy Birthday Doc, sure do miss hearing your guitar ring.
Posted 9 years ago by GawgaBoy    [ Reply ]

I've heard better pickers, more proficient classical guitarists, but DW has undeniable charm and a skill level way beyond the norm in his era.

This is good music.

Edit: Didn't mean to demean Doc Watson, but there are some truly gifted guitarists today, however, none of them will have the same impact that Chet and Doc did.

Hi Dave,

I didn't notice any issues — the upright bass is more in the right channel.  My AKG K-501's sound fine.  :)

Neil

I agree with NeilB here, the bass is focused on the right channel, but I noticed no issues with my cans (Senn HD 518s).  {#Angel}

Very nice interpretation of Doc Watson's version of the song "House Of The Rising Sun". The typical style of Doc and emotion of his voice, gives new life and a different perspective to this song as old.

The pride of Deep Gap, NC.  Nice!
One thing I really like about PR is the range - from Doc Watson through Talking Heads to Talvin Singh - all in the course of an hour or so.  Pretty cool, actually.

Wiki says: "At the age of nine, Mitchell contracted polio during a Canadian epidemic, but recovered after a stay in the hospital. It was during this time that she first became interested in singing."

It left her with some difficulties, such as tiring easily. It's one reason she does not tour extensively. I think it also contributes to the 'breathy' quality of her voice: some people can't stand it, but I like it.

Sheesh, you guys are sensitive. It was just a joke: obviously some of the finest musicians EVER just happen to be blind or otherwise handicapped. Hmmm, let's see: Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Doc Watson, Art Tatum, Jose Feliciano, Ronnie Milsap, (Blind) Lemon Jefferson, The (Blind) Boys of Alabama, Django Reinhart (missing fingers), Joni Mitchell and Itzak Perlman (polio), the list goes on and on.

If there was a way to trade my sight for their talent, it'd be an easy decision.
