BLDoc Watson will be remembered forever 🙏
He was one of the most influential acoustic guitar players in American music, known for his clean flatpicking style and deep roots in folk, bluegrass, and traditional Appalachian songs. Born in North Carolina and blind from infancy, he rose to national recognition during the 1960s folk revival, bringing old time mountain music to a much wider audience. His precise playing and clear vocals helped set a new standard for acoustic guitar.
Throughout his career, Watson won multiple Grammy Awards and became a central figure in preserving traditional American music while also inspiring generations of musicians. He frequently performed with his son Merle Watson, and together they helped keep folk and bluegrass traditions alive. His legacy remains tied to authenticity, skill, and a lifelong dedication to the roots of American music.

SMArthel Lane “Doc” Watson (1923-2012) was born 100 years ago today in Deep Gap, North Carolina. Here he performs his arrangement of “Deep River Blues.”
By the time Doc was “discovered” by folklorists Ralph Rinzler and Eugene Earle in the late summer of 1960, he was already a proficient guitarist with a local reputation. Through Rinzler and Earle’s efforts, Doc was brought onto the folk music circuit of coffee houses, colleges, and festivals. He would go on to become one of America’s premier acoustic guitarists, performing at the White House for President Jimmy Carter, and earning eight Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award.
This video is from the instructional DVD Doc’s Guitar: Fingerpicking & Flatpicking, produced by Smithsonian Folkways and Homespun Video in 1991. Watch the full clip at the link in bio.
