Product Description

"Good Deal!" is a vibrant and spirited album by the legendary Doc Watson, released on January 1, 1996, under Vanguard Records. This collection of 13 tracks offers a rich tapestry of bluegrass, newgrass, traditional folk, country blues, and Americana, showcasing Watson's mastery of various stringed instruments and his deep connection to roots music.

The album opens with "Alabama Jubilee," a lively tune that sets the pace for the journey through Watson's musical repertoire. Tracks like "Streamline Cannonball" and "Peach Picking Time In Georgia" highlight his virtuosic flatpicking guitar skills, while "June Apple" and "I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes" showcase his soulful vocals and deep understanding of traditional folk and country blues.

With a duration of just under 39 minutes, "Good Deal!" is a concise yet powerful testament to Doc Watson's enduring legacy as a pioneer of American roots music. The album's diverse range of styles and Watson's exceptional musicianship make it a compelling listen for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Doc Watson's Studio Gem
5 out of 5 stars
Tewyiy_Zxokjwax18 June 2024United States🇺🇸
Released in 1968, this is, to my knowledge, Doc's sole significant studio project. It boasts a grand sound, blending Country, Oldtime, and Bluegrass elements, with an all-star lineup featuring Buddy Spicher and Tommy Jackson on fiddles, Don Stover on banjo, Grady Martin and Merle Watson on guitars, Shot Jackson on dobro, Floyd Cramer on piano, Buddy Harmon on drums, and Junior Huskey on bass. Doc himself handles guitar and vocals. The track listing is fantastic, offering a mix of vocal numbers and instrumentals. A must-have for any diverse Country Music compilation!
