"I first listened to Doc and Merle Watson 25 years ago in college. I lost my old albums and cassettes and lost Doc Watson as well. I was surfing through Amazon.com and ran across Doc and Merle. I ordered this CD and it immediately sent me back 25 years. The CD is a two album set. The first album Elementary Doc Watson. That was the album that took me back. It is literally fantastic and cannot be surpassed. I was ready to turn off the CD player when to my surprise, the second "album" started. It is just as good as "Elementary". The CD concludes with 3 fantastic songs. "If I Needed You". This song will remind you of whatever sweetheart you hold dear. I was working on a building project and literally replayed that song 20 times over and over again. The next song to look for is "Meet Me Somewhere in Your Dreams." It is similar to "If I Needed You" and again, you'll be thinking of your sweetheart. The last song is "Old Camp Meet Time." This is an old revival song and you'll be clapping your hands and repeating the chorus after one time through. Buy it! You can't lose."
