Review of Doc Watson and Dave Grisman Ive always been a long time David Grisman and Jerry Garcia fan and this hits perfectly with that style. This is my first Doc Watson CD and it proved to be an amazing choice. When Doc Watson sings Summertime his voice is just so perfect. I would recomend this to any new fans or if you have always been a big fan. Very good instrumental songs on here, bring this backpacking if you happen to live in an evergreen state!. Great album I am a long time Doc Watson fan and this has some of his best playing. This is a wonderful CD. David Grisman is outstanding. The two blend well with complexity and clear picking. It is an album by two masters. Sweet summertime joy Although played very quickly, GEORGIA seems a bit lifeless to me. I enjoy this cd quite alot but a couple of the songs, namely ALL ABOUT YOU and the hyper version of SWEET GEORGIA BROWN take something away from the album for me. What earns this cd four stars? SUMMERTIME, WATSON BLUES, and most of the other tracks. SUMMERTIME being the standout vocal track though. I dare say that this is my absolute favorite officially recorded example of Doc's singing. For me personally, that track alone makes the cd worth buying, but I gave the cd 4 stars just to let you know that there may be a couple songs you won't enjoy. As far as all the playing is concerned though, it's top-notch picking, even if I don't particularly enjoy a couple of the songs. amazing I've seen both these guys separately in concert, and this cd represents the combination of two absolute geniuses as my imagination can hardly touch. I just bought this CD and it is absolutely fantastic, beautiful clean picking that runs sweet and deep. It is heaven listening to these songs. Excelent! I am not all that familiar with Doc Watson, I love his playing and singing on this but cannot compare it to other recordings. I love this CD. David Grismans playing is great, of course. But best of all, the songs are all wonderful choices, all showing a unique flavor. You can see a complete list of all Doc Watson discography, or go back to the Doc Watson tabs
