Doc Watson - Tom Dooley (Official Visualizer)

[@greenwolfegreen6028]

It's always good to hear the voice of my late cousin. I'll never forget hearing him sing to me in his kitchen when I was 10 years old in 1961.

[@82dorrin]

Doc was one of the all-time greats. You were very fortunate to know him.

[@kierangriffin9977]

Lucky man god bless doc

[@shamsam4]

He's one of the best ever.

[@carlitosharlan5595]

That's so cool I'm glad your cousin is timeless

[@shagadelic4210]

Oh wow that outs you at the exact age of my grandmother, she was a '51 baby😅

[@merlinofavalon6721]

The roots of most folk blues guitar picking today. Grandfather of Old Time Country music .Pure genius.

[@17kevin95]

A true American hero. RIP big fella

[@johnholland723]

I have heard many versions of this and this is always my favorite

[@ericlarson2203]

Best version

[@ericlevy553]

Nice... That is blind man blues right there folks...

[@sherriberri9550]

My Pa used to sing this all the time. I miss him, he past last year, but this is a beautiful memory in a song.

[@gregvv]

I'm sorry for your loss

[@antoniomanni4582]

Anche a me,perché anch'io ho perso il mio l'anno scorso, ma lui mi è vicino in ogni modo...❤

[@RobertGarris-s2e]

A true nc legend!

[@tomlamiam]

So good. Thank you!

[@ruthl51]

Great old time style, glad i ran into your channel 😄

[@KesslerWatsonMusic]

I like how Doc knew which songs were proper to keep simple and which ones were meant to be elaborated on. Everybody wants to play a Tony rice solo over this song but Doc keeps it simple because it’s a murder ballad and it’s all about melodically enhancing the original melody instead of ripping generic licks over a progression in different orders. A true musician.

[@kathleencalhoun2225]

Glad to hear this one again. First heard it in 1964, when I was 10 years old. Would like to have traveled back in time to see who these individuals were. Did he really kill her?

[@joshiewhite]

Nope. It was another woman.

[@TheDillinger22]

Perhaps Tom Dula did not actually kill Laura Foster, however he does appear to have been an accessory to murder which is a capital offense in any case.

[@antoniomanni4582]

È diversa dall'originale, però visto che il cantante non è più con noi,che Dio l'abbia in gloria❤

[@ThePoliticalMusician]

Wasn’t this originally hanging music?

[@indus7841]

it still is?

[@82dorrin]

Who killed Laurie Foster? It *probably* wasn't Tom Dooley, at least if you ask residents of the area.

[@waltzingpeter]

Watson tells the story on the album with David Holt

I love Doc!! I feel maybe Bob Dylan was influenced by this mans/families style.

[@shanephillips1730]

I damn sure know Billy 'Mother Fucking' Strings was influenced by Doc. Doc Lives On!
