This review is from: Jean Ritchie And Doc Watson Live At Folk City (Audio CD)

A must-have for fans of folk or American traditional music. With the glut of neo- or pseudo-Appalachian music out there lately (I guess since O Brother! Where Art Thou? came out) we need more releases like this of the genuine article. Doc Watson is still very popular but Jean Ritchie is not as well-known outside of dulcimer and folk circles as she ought to be.

This is a great old-timey, Appalachian folk music CD from 2 of the best. Doc Watson plays excellent guitar and banjo (as always). My favorites were "Willie Moore" where Doc plays some great backup banjo,"What will I do with this Baby-O" which Jean sings - I used to sing this song to my kids when I'd be walking them around with them as babies trying to get them to go to sleep, and "Pretty Little Miss" which is a fun song that both of them sing, Doc plays some good backup guitar on it. They are the "real deal".
