Title: Dock Boggs And His Talking Banjo..
Review: Dock Boggs possessed and carried the same impact of a delta bluesman. Ol' Dock once said "every song should be played like Mississippi John Hurt", and in Dock Boggs you'll never hear a "smoother" banjo picker,with an intense,sincere voice. Dock's "surreal" music paints a dark pictorial in the listeners mind,listen and learn to: "Pretty Polly","Oh,Death","Down South Blues","Country Blues","Coal Creek March", "Turkey In The Straw".. Dock Boggs obviously knew a good song when he heard one. This two disc set of his folkway sessions 1963-1968 is packed with fifty songs from the always reliable Smithsonian Folkways,enclosed is a thick booklet. The audio is excellent, listen close to the extraordinaire banjo work of Dock Boggs, you'll hear a different perspective on some of Dock's 1920 recordings on this compilation.
