This album is an expanded edition of Doc and Merle Watson`s classic Pickin` the Blues, with eight additional tracks from their Flying Fish Records catalogue. In the hands of Doc and Merle, the blues and country music are a natural fit, with songs drawn from a range of blues, jazz and country styles. In addition to Doc`s flat-picking and Merle`s slide guitar playing, this collection is a fine showcase for Doc`s baritone voice, as natural and expressive an instrument as any in country music or the blues. With T. Michael Coleman, Mark O`Connor, Sam Bush and others.
