Southbound


Believe it or not, I recently found a copy of Doc Watson’s great 1966 album, Southbound, at a thrift store for $2! Released by Vanguard, the album also features Doc’s son, Merle, and John Pilla on guitars and Russ Savakus on string bass. The tracks include “Walk on Boy,” “Blue Railroad Train,” “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “Alberta,” “Southbound,” “Windy and Warm,” “Call of the Road,” “Tennessee Stud,” “That Was the Last Thing on My Mind,” “Little Darling Pal of Mine,” “Nothing to It,” “Riddle Song,” “Never No More Blues” and “Nashville Pickin'”. Best investment ever!
