Doc Watson is one of America's national treasures, a man whose music, despite his global fame, remains rooted in the traditional sounds of the Appalachian Mountains, where he lives. A folk and bluegrass legend--especially for his precise and eloquent flat-pick guitar playing--Watson displays a nearly palpable charm and low-key sense of humor in performance, which is no where better than on his children's album, which was recorded live in 1990 at a concert for kids in Atlanta. With the intimacy of a living-room gathering, this set of traditional folk songs, kids' classics, and Watson signature tunes both delights and enthralls. The harmonica on "Mama Blues" sounds all the world like a crying infant and the picking is so hot on "John Henry" that surely it, too, could forge steel. And when Watson and touring companion Jack Lawrence tickle the lyric of "Mole in the Ground" with their guitar filigree, youngsters big and small will find it hard not to squeal out loud. --Alanna Nash

Comment: My husband and I purchased this cd for our new granddaughter. We believe that Doc Watson is a National Treasure, and are proud that he resides in North Carolina where we have multiple opportunities to see/hear him play. The songs are a little faster paced on this cd. "Tennessee Stud" is our favorite, and we're sure that Hannah will know all the words by the time she's able to talk!

Summary: This is a wonderful children's album. 1999-07-08
Comment: My son goes to sleep with this album at least 3 nights a week. It goes on car trips with us and is one of the few that you don't want to throw out the window after 50 miles. It contains many wonderful folk songs that kids and adults love to sing along with.
