A Blind Boy's Journey to Musical Stardom
Doc Watson was born in 1923 in a remote mountain cabin in North Carolina. He was blind from the age of two, but he taught himself to play guitar and sing at an early age. He went on to perform for over six decades, winning numerous awards, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Watson's music was a unique blend of folk, blues, and gospel. He was a master of the fingerpicking guitar style, and his singing was both powerful and expressive. He often performed with his son, Merle, and the two of them were known for their close harmonies and intricate guitar playing.
Watson's life was not without its challenges. He faced discrimination and prejudice because of his blindness, and he struggled with poverty for much of his life. But he never gave up on his music, and he eventually achieved great success.
Talkin' Guitar is the definitive biography of Doc Watson. It tells the story of his life and music, from his early days as a street musician to his rise to international fame. The book is filled with insights into Watson's music, his life, and his legacy.
