## Description

Product description          CD             .com          Dock Boggs champions will look back at 1998 as a monumental year for the Virginia-born banjo-playing songster who, but for a few years in the late '20s and the early '60s, lived in obscurity. His first recordings have been beautifully reissued in Revenant's Country Blues: Complete Early Recordings package. His shadow looms over Greil Marcus's Invisible Republic--the critic's best book since Mystery Train. And Smithsonian Folkways has brought back 50 recordings made by Mike Seeger during the autumn of Boggs's life. Together with the Revenant material, this two-CD reissue--including a brilliant essay by Barry O'Connell--details one of the most mysterious voices in American music. When Boggs sings he tears each line to pieces and, in turn, the language of his death-obsessed blues rends his voice into a scratchy, painful tremolo. This is not folk music for the timid. "Oh, I've got no sugar baby now," he wails in one of his best-known songs. "It's all I can do for to see peace with you / And I can't get along this-a-way." Along with celebrated material from the '20s, Boggs also chose for these '60s sessions a few gospel tunes, which are sung with the revealing intensity. And on every track, even on the shaky, jagged instrumentals, Boggs captures the darkest and resiliency of a man's soul. --Roy Kasten

    Good banjo and voice
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2014*

I almost gave this 3 stars, but for what it is, this albums is singular. It is one-dimensional in that it is a banjo and an old man singing song after song (and a lot of them). I finally gave it 4 stars because it hardly gets better than this for what it is. It distills (in an almost moonshiner way) folk ballads and a sound from the Appalachians. The lyrics are thought-provoking, as if you are getting a window into people's souls in a variety of miserable situations. That this can come through with such simple music is an achievement.

    Dock Boggs And His Talking Banjo..
  

*by R***B on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2009*

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 banjo work of Dock Boggs, you're sure to hear a different perspective on some of Dock's re recorded 1920 songs on this compilation.

    Dock Boggs Best!
  

*by C***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014*

Dock Boggs Folkways years will give you all the listening pleasure you desire. This is the one to get! This has the superior version of all his songs. These will make your skin crawl, his tortured singing combined with pure brilliance on Banjo. The best of Dock! "Little Black Train" is the pinnacle if you ask me. There are loads of his best songs right here! I only gave this recording a 4 because Dock Boggs is not for everyone.
