Coming off the Doc Watson thread, there is a famous line of someone regaling all the good things in their life, and they say that they have heard "Doc Watson play the Columbus Stockade Blues". Can anyone tell me what album this might be on, or if it was ever recorded? I have never run across it in the myriad Watson albums I have canvassed. yours, Peter T.

By Guy Clark, in a song called "Dublin Blues," on an album called "Dublin Blues."

I have seen the David,
Seen the Mona Lisa, too.
I have heard Doc Watson
Play "Columbus Stockade Blues.

We recorded this one on one of our, now out of print recordings, when I was working with the jug band Strangers With Candy. I'm not sure how to transfer it to you via the web though. I could type what lyrics we used if that helps.

The line is from Guy Clark's "Dublin Blues."

Offhand, I can think of two Doc Watson albums on which he does "Columbus Stockade": Memories and Third Generation Blues (w/Richard Watson).

Just to be clear, I don't want to Guy Clark song -- I have that -- I am interesting in Doc Watson's recording of "CSB". yours, Peter T.

Peter T,
The song you requested is from an album recorded last year called Doc and Richard Watson - Third Generation Blues. There is an real audio clip of it, at this link.

In the event this link doesn't work, you can find it by doing a search under Doc Watson, at CDNOW.COM

Michael, I think the link to CDNOW.COM should be entered as:

<a href="http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/redirect/leaf=from=sr-1001966">CDNOW.COM</a>.

If you don't include the double slashes, the URL is interpreted as a subset of the site hosting the current page; in this case, Mudcat. Also, If you don't include everything from "cgi" through "1001966", I don't think Mudcat will get credit for people's purchases through the link.

Your first link was correct. You probably went through the Mudcat clickable logo to get there and copied the URL once there. That's what I usually do too. The second one looked as if you'd simply typed the URL into your post.

Cheers,
