Doc Watson has always been one of my biggest influences & his arrangement of "Deep River Blues" was the first Travis-Picking style song I ever learned. I have been having so much fun playing this Martin DX Johnny Cash model dreadnought lately, that it's been inspiring me to dust off some of these old arrangements and share'em with you.

I been down to the crossroads, but the devil looked at me and laughted. You old fool you lost your soul a long time ago. It's a young man's soul that feed's my delight. Blues for a soul. And he gave it to you...

I used to hear my dad play this song, and as I grew up, we used to play it together. We don't play much as we used to now, but Deep River Blues will always remain the Father&Son theme in my heart. Thanks for polishing this masterpiece of Doc Watson. Cheers from France

I was playing Deep River Blues before you were born. A friend played Travis style and it was the first song I'd heard in the style around 1965. It's what motivated me to learn how to play guitar and I think I've played a bit of it every time I've picked up a guitar for over 50 years. I also played it for Merle Travis in his dressing room one time and I have to say something frankly Justin, I hate your guts. Loved it. Nice to see how the last 30 years has produced so many players who are keeping the style alive. My hat's off to you. Merle did warn me about one thing though, he said, "You keep pickin' your guitar like that and the hole will never heal up."

My grandpa was my introduction to this song. We both had a mutual liking for the song. I met another man, Stan not long after and found that he liked the song as well. We got to play our versions to each other, and it was apparent that he was better at it than I was, haha! Because if them, the song is a regular part of my song circle. Your version is absolutely wonderful, and you played it very well. God bless
