Description
In May of this year we lost one of the elder statesmen of American roots music. Guitarist Doc Watson, who held living legend status for decades before his passing, contributed greatly to the bluegrass, folk and mountain gospel traditions, leaving behind a vast body of work and a sea of appreciative fans. Paying tribute to Watson are Jim Hurst and Steve Palazzo, two fine pickers in their own right. Hurst, who spent years playing with the Claire Lynch Band, has a unique and flawless fingerpicking style that sets him apart from the pack and Palazzo, a masterful guitarist who is adept in many styles, is a local favorite of the Northern California bluegrass scene.
