Description

|
|
|
The core of Bill Monroe and Doc Watson's appeal resides in their ability to infuse traditional American music with their distinctive musicianship and personalities. Their unparalleled vocal and instrumental skills complement one another on these rare, previously unreleased duets, featuring spoken intros by Monroe. Songs include "Soldier's Joy," "Foggy Mountain Top," "Kentucky Mandolin," "East Tennessee Blues," "Chicken Reel," "Banks of the Ohio," "Paddy on the Turnpike," "Memories of You," and more. "Chronicles the early meetings of two instrumental geniuses."—Billboard "Their spirited union on this 17-song disc is a sampler of American musical styles. They ripped through bluegrass, folk, blues, spirituals, mountain tunes, work songs, reels and breakdowns. Monroe's mandolin and Watson's guitar playing were masterful, wondrous and performed without any trace of self-indulgence. Their vocals were also delivered with ease, fluidity and conviction, the product of two performers completely at ease with themselves and only interested in spotlighting the material."—All Music Guide
