Surrounded by music and musicians, Doc and his siblings grew up listening to hymns, murder ballads and down home string band music, all of which would later find places in his own repertoire. In 1953, Doc formed a honky tonk dance band with pianist Jack Williams called Jack Williams and his Country Gentlemen. Their repertoire consisted primarily of rockabilly, country and western, pop standards and square dance tunes, and Doc played electric guitar in this ensemble. To fill occasional square dance requests, Doc learned to flatpick fiddle tunes on the guitar, as Joe Maphis had done in the 1930s. Unlike his contemporaries Chet Atkins and Merle Travis, who started their professional careers playing acoustic guitars and later switched to electric, Doc began on electric and later made the transition to acoustic with the advent of the folk revival of the Sixties. Although he continued to work with Williams playing country and pop music, Doc never stopped playing traditional mountain music with his family and friends at home. These included Clarence Tom Ashley, Docs father-in-law Gaither Carlton, and two other neighbors, fiddler Fred Price and guitarist Clint Howard, all of whom would travel and record with Doc in the future. It was in these comfortable home surroundings that Doc was first discovered and recorded by folklorist Ralph Rinzler and collector and discographer Eugene Earle, who were on a collecting trip through North Carolina looking for traditional artists to record. Once these field recordings were released, as Old Time Music at Clarence Ashleys Vol. 1 (and later Vol. 2) on Folkways Records, Docs reputation grew, and he soon began playing for enthusiastic urban audiences farther from home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWabash Cannonball - a P Carter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe House Carpenter - Traditional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wish I Was Single Again - Traditional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Darling Pal of Mine - a P Carter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrain That Carried My Girl from Town - Doc Watson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Worried Blues -Traditional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Dan Tucker - Traditional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Heaven When I Die - Claude Grant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Talking Blues - Chris Bouchillon 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Margaret - Traditional 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSitting on Top of the World - Lonnie Carter and Walter Jacobs 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Let Your Deal Go Down - Doc Watson 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Smoke - Merle Travis 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep River Blues - Doc Watson 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWay Down Town (W\/ Ralph Rinzler and John Herald) - Doc Watson 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomebody Touched Me (W\/ Ralph Rinzler and John Herald) - Doc Watson 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBilly in the Low Ground (W\/ John Herald) - Traditional 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoil Them Cabbage Down - Traditional 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday Dirt - David McCarn 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am a Pilgrim - Merle Travis 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Telephone in Heaven - a P Carter 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHop High Ladies the Cake's All Dough -Traditional 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Sadie - Doc Watson 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Mountain Rag (W\/ John Herald) - Doc Watson 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackberry Rag (W\/ John Herald) - Doc Watson 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDays of My Childhood Plays - Alfred G Karnes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50571651285288,"sku":"63445724991","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3757333.jpg?v=1763989681","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/watson-doc-live-at-club-47-lp-63445724991","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
