"Doc Watson - Live in Greenwich Village, 1962 Via Delta Slider, a beautiful half-hour of Doc at Gerde's Folk City, the epicenter of the NYC folk scene in the early 60s. Knowing the way that the folkies were back then, I'm sure that a lot of them came to the show armed with some bogus notion of ""authenticity"" — the blind geetar-picker from North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains! But as is the case with most so-called folk musicians, Doc was no backwoods primitive — the dude was sophisticated, a true artist. One listen to this set, wherein Watson blows the room away with machine gun precision, should be enough to convince anyone."
