Reminiscent of when the Nashville sound was something worth listening to. Beautifully done. 110,417 views, 224 likes and 1 asshole. What the hell this is YouTube. A Proctologist would have a field day.

My fav. song that Norman sings is "Waiting For The Boatman." Thanks to CBC's Stewart McLean for playing it some years back and thus introducing me to this fine artist.

Correct, its a 1934 D18

Norman, like Doc, is a real American treasure. Tremendous songwriter and player of many instruments. I've seen him many times in the past (Down Home in Johnson City, TN; McDibs in Black Mountain, NC; the infamous P.B Scotts in Blowing Rock,NC )...always a treat. I would love to see him get back out on the road to do a few shows. Haven't seen him since Merlefest a couple of years back.

I love everything this guy does. He's a genius, not only on the guitar but also on mandolin, dobro, banjo, fiddle. You name it he plays it.
And to say, as somebody did here, that he can't sing shit, is not only a lie, but also blasphemy.

As for the "singing" aspect, I guess some people completely miss the point. What you are witnessing here is not "pop" entertainment. This is the timeless re-enactment of the old time traditions. I grew up listening to this style of music, in the hills of North Arkansas. Norman Blake keeps it absolutely true to form, traditional, he respects the music and history of the pieces he performs. If his voice doesn't break your heart - it ain't for you. This IS NOT an acquired taste. It is heritage.
