[Garden and Gun] The late Doc Watson was one of American traditional music’s most influential torchbearers. Blind from a young age, the North Carolina native won seven Grammy awards (including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004), mentored up-and-coming pickers, and established the beloved MerleFest in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, in 1988 in honor of his late son, guitarist Eddie "Merle" Watson. But Doc Watson & Gaither Carlton, a new release from Smithsonian Folkways, predates all of that: The album, recorded over two concerts in New York City in 1962, finds a young Watson and his father-in-law, Gaither Carlton, playing their first-ever headlining gigs outside the South.
