Willie Watson was one of the founding members of Old Crow Medicine Show, a group he left a couple years ago. And where OCMS is still doing the up-tempo busking numbers, Watson's solo record is more low key. This collection of traditional tunes is like listening to a guy playing on his porch, and it's simply wonderful.

Just saw this guy at the Brooklyn Folk Fest. He was amazing. Great album of classic blues songs.
