Doc Watson is badass. Have a pal in NC, long story short...went up there a few years ago, we jammed with these boys that sounded like electric Docs. That whole double flat pickin thang.
I’ve been a Doc Watson fan since the moment I heard one of his records (Ballads from Deep Gap, around 50 years ago, and I still have that album).
My wife is from NC, not all that far from Deep Gap, and she told me once about being at a pig-pickin’ back in the hills, when she was about 20, where Doc Watson and Vassar Clements showed up. Doc heard her singing in the crowd and called her up to sing with him. I was in awe when I heard that.
