Over on my booktube channel (Hannah's Books), I shared this book in my description of exciting books forthcoming in January. Link to the particular discussion: https://youtu.be/_0NqzNODjeE?si=g830XMgKN5wACHAh&t=318
I also soliticited and edited a book review for Open Letters review: https://openlettersreview.com/posts/doc-watson-a-life-in-music-by-eddie-huffman?rq=doc%20watson

An exhaustive and detailed account of the life of the legendary guitar and banjo picker who was responsible for bringing Appalachian mountain music into fashion in the 1960s and beyond. His early life in Deep Gap is described in great detail as is his travels with his son Merle and then his grandson Richard bringing old-time folk and country songs to audiences into the 2010s. This is a must read for anyone who loves to listen to country, folk or what is called Americana music. Thank you to the University of North Carolina Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a preview copy of this excellent definitive biography of this genius musician.
