This is a special Recording in many ways
Most of the CD contains train songs. I believe this is the last recording of Doc Watson with his son Merle, who was tragically killed the following year.

This CD is also special because the picture was taken at Spencer Railroad shops, and i live ten miles from Spencer. Spencer Shops is a legend in many old time songs, and the wreck of the old 97, Spencer was the destination the train was headed before the fateful wreck.

Doc is joined by many talented musicians, and Merle's picking is outstanding. I played the cassette so many times, I recently purchased the CD. The memory of Merle is alive and well.


I have this album, its great.
As always, he turns in a great perfromance. You will love Docs Picking and singing here. This is old time country music at its best.

If you love Doc's music, it doesn't get any better than this
Your attention is captured for the entire album. The album starts off with a great bluegrass number. A great blend of folk and bluegrass tunes. Doc's singing is in top form here. The harmonies are quite satisfying too. The selection of songs are plenty of fun here. They also bring out some serious mood reflections in the listener. This is a must album for any serious Doc Watson fan.
