Doc and Merle Watson's Guitar Album is the title of a recording by American folk music artist Doc Watson and Merle Watson, first released in 1983. It has been released on CD by Vanguard Records and Flying Fish Records. Sheeps in the Meadow/Stoney Fork" (Traditional) – 2:55. Talking to Casey" (Coleman) – 2:29. Liza/Lady Be Good" – 2:53. Black Pine Waltz" (Traditional) – 2:32. Guitar Polka" – 2:17. Goin' to Chicago Blues" – 4:05. Black Mountain Rag" (Traditional) – 2:37.

This collection is drawn from the albums Watson recorded for Flying Fish between 1980-1984. As the title implies, it features a selection of traditional country tunes and newer songs done in a country style. It has the smooth Nashville production characteristic of his albums of the time, but that's not really a flaw - even if it takes some of the leather out of his playing, having a full backing band extends his appeal beyond the hillbilly curtain, and to many ears, that's a good thing

Doc and Merle play blues to bluegrass on this album. The picking is flawless and the slide is awesome. Over the past several days since his death, I've been revisiting my Doc Watson collection. There are only two vocals: "Going to Chicago Blues" and "Gonna Lay Down My Old Guitar. I always enjoyed Merle's slide playing, so "Talking to Casey" is a real treat.

On Doc Watson in Nashville (1968), that town’s famed A-team of session musicians, including Grady Martin, accompanied him. Merle, who’d began playing guitar in ’64, was touring with his dad by the late ’60s. The acclaimed, Grammy-winning 1972 album, Will The Circle Be Unbroken, featured Watson, Scruggs, Jimmy Martin, Roy Acuff, Merle Travis, and Maybelle Carter teamed with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The album’s success exposed him to a younger audience, many of them rock fans. Eventually, he won eight of his own Grammys, including a Lifetime Achievement Award. He never forgot his first concert in Illinois, working with Watson and bassist T. Michael Coleman. I played as many solos as he did, Lawrence recalls. He gave me every other solo.
