"This album, by one of the best guitarists in the world, is a magnificent demonstration of why music styles don't always have to be in separate and distinct categories. I've been a Doc fan since I was a young teenager. I love his skill and the old bluegrass and country tunes, not to mention Doc's unique style onstage. However, in Docabilly, we hear the master playing early rock and roll. Just listen to the fun he has doing a glorious interpretation of Chuck Berry's guitar in Shake, Rattle and Roll. Hey plays Elvis, the Everly Brothers, Johnny Cash, and makes all the songs his own. Even though this isn't my favorite Doc album, I wouldn't want to be without it!"

Doc's docabilly is great!

"For Doc's fans or want to be fans this is a departure into some early 50's country and rock. ALl the tunes are well done and have professional backup and several guest artists! Doc does all the vocals and I assume a lot of the acoustic work. I enjoyed this Cd and all who have heard it wanted a copy too. ONly thing missing are Doc's colorful commments and stories, but his playing and singing are great as always....."
