Impressive folk-singer – familiar with the catalogues of Alan Lomax and Harry Smith!
Willie Watson is a real americana-, country- and roots-archivist. Once a part of Old Crow Medicine Show, but now on to his solo 'Folksinger, Vol. 2'. It is adorned with gems of 'southern gospel, railroad songs, delta blues, Irish fiddle tunes, Appalachian music...' The sort of striking and often covered folk songs – like 'Gallows Pole' or 'Midnight Special' –that we usually know more from Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones. But a tasteful cover of ACDC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap should be permitted sometimes too. Even a role in the Coen brothers’ 'The ballad of Buster Scruggs' turned out to perfectly suited this cowboy, with some excellent work on the soundtrack too, of course.
