Music reviews of Dock Boggs: His Folkways Years 1963-1968

Music Review: Ol' Dock And His Talking Banjo..
Rating: 5 Stars

Dock Boggs possessed and carried the same impact and elements of a delta bluesman,like a Robert Johnson or Willie McTell,- 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,blessed with an intense,powerful voice and his music paints a dark pictorial in the listeners mind,listen and learn to,OH,DEATH,DOWN SOUTH BLUES,COUNTRY BLUES, and the mesmerizing instrumentals,COAL CREEK MARCH and TURKEY IN THE STRAW. Dock Boggs obviously knew a good song when he heard one,this is revealed on this two cd,fifty song compilation from Smithsonian Folkways and the musical genius - Dock Boggs,other admirable banjo pickers to mention,-Roscoe Holcomb and Hobart Smith,and let's not forget Roy Clark.

Description of Dock Boggs: His Folkways Years 1963-1968

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
