07 Jun 01 - 05:38 PM (#478719) Subject: Doc Watson recording question From: GUEST,Kerry Stanley Can anyone tell me which Doc Watson album contains a song the title of which I believe is "Long Journey" or something similar? I think that he composed it after the death of his wife, and I think it contains the lines "My darling / Oh my darling / My hearts breaks as you take / your long journey." Thanks for any clues that you can offer. |

Emmylou Harris recorded it, and the lyrics and chords are here(click!). Next step is to look at Doc's discography........you can do that at Google(click!) by typing Doc Watson discography in the box. You don't need capitals or quotes.......... |

I should have done a discography search, but I get lazy sometimes. Figure people should do their own searching sometimes........... |

The co-writers credited are Doc and his wife Rosa Lee. Also on this GREAT project is John's reading of LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART. I've always wanted to do a banjo-driven bluegrass version of the Stones' NINETEENTH NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. But I'm getting off the point - sorry. |
