The Bottom Line Archive Series: (2002)

Doc Watson: Live at the Bottom Line

These 2002 live recordings capture the guitar virtuoso on the heels of his sixth Grammy win (out of eight), showcasing his trademark wit, charm and prodigious musical gifts. Regarded as the father of modern day Bluegrass flat-picking, Doc Watson creates the easy intimacy of a back-porch performance as he walks his adoring audience through a musical history lesson encompassing Shady Grove, T for Texas, Black Mountain Rag and Nights in White Satin. Recorded during Doc s final two Bottom Line engagements - just before, and shortly after, his 79th birthday.

DOC WATSON (March 3, 1923 May 29, 2012)
"As Bill Monroe is 'The Father of Bluegrass Music', and Earl Scruggs, 'The Father of The Three-Finger Style of Banjo Playing in Bluegrass', I consider Doc Watson to be 'The Father of Modern Day Flat-Picking Acoustic Guitar Style' that is so prevalent in Bluegrass." RICKY SKAGGS
