Apologies for the poor quality of sound. After trawling around here for this version I decided to dig an old cassette tape version out and share it with the world. It's the reason I bought a banjo in the first place, but obviously my own awkward attempts can't get anywhere near this superb rendition by the Doc and his late Son Merle.

Just heard of the tragic loss from a Youtuber, yngeldorf. Doc's death yesterday leaves a huge gap in the surviving contributors of 20th Century culture. RIP Doc.

This song at least partially inspired "Cocaine blues", made famous by Johnny Cash.

We had Doc and Merle at our house in Ithaca NY back in the 1980's when they were there for a concert at Cornell University. What a treat!

The Sadies cover of this song is awesome, better than Crooked Still's. I seriously suggest all of you find it.

How can anyone dislike this? Maybe the subject matter? Musically it's genius!

This is from the album "Doc Watson on Stage." It's definitely worth hearing it from the source. It's even more amazing.

Okay, I checked out "Crooked Still", I have to admit they can give Doc a run for his money. I'm sure he's sittin' somewhere and doesn't mind.

Doc was like Ray Charles, others did good versions of his stuff, but the "originals" are the best.

Doc is tops. The picking, tone, mood, pace. Re younger groups, I first heard song when Freight Hoppers performed it at Live Oak Music Festival and knocked me out. Excellent musicianship, vocals, harmony, old-timey sound. Crooked Sill is over the top soft and sweet; come on, this is a murder ballad for cryin' out loud! And vocals do NOT sound hillsy, southern oror old-timey, enunciation is too precise,.

Gosh I am astounded that someone here likes a Califonia band doing a song that Doc Watson memorialized, saved and played in the authentic tradition better than some band in California that has never even been to North Carolina. Just astounded at the traditional disrespect of the way things were done. So disrespectful. Guess she is pretty young but she might live to get old enough to appreciate tradition, they cannot ever be as good as the real thing. This is how so many songs and tunes are lost after a few generations people want to know the Timeline and who changed it and how. I just want to know why cause I hear all kinds of bands making off with the music sometimes it is ok but taking things to a place where the next few generations do not even get the chance to here the authentic version is kin to theft. Free country though.
