Darol Anger Remembers Doc Watson

I first heard Doc's live Vanguard record with Merle in about 1970, and a couple months later was able to see him at the huge and wonderful Zellerbach Concert Hall in Berkeley. Everyone was talking about him by that time! There was a very specific feeling associated with hearing Doc. There is an aliveness, and awareness to his playing which shocked me, and brought a sense of music as a living thing, which was a new thing for me.

Talking and playing with one of the greatest rhythmic fiddlers ever.We fiddlers now have a great interview with the incredible Brittany Haas, alumna of Republic Of Strings and current driving fierce in the phenomenal band Crooked Still. Brittany is one of the world's most rhythmic and accurate fiddlers, and her approach to bowing has to be seen to be believed.
Great tunes and informative conversation make for lots of spillover into Bluegrass, Old-time and just plain Great Fiddlin'. Brittany can be heard on Crooked Still's most recent 2 recordings and on the first two Republic of Strings CDs, as well as her own self-released classic, Brittany Haas available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/BrittanyHaas.
