Doc Watson

Album · 1982 · Quicksilver QS 5031

Out in the Country is a twelve-track Doc Watson LP issued in 1982 by Intermedia Records as QS-5031 and distributed by Quicksilver Records. It is Watson alone throughout. He plays guitar on eleven tracks, and on “Mama Blues” he switches to harmonica and speaks instead of singing. Two of the tracks are guitar instrumentals, “Doc’s Guitar” and “Sally Goodin.”

The songs include “In the Pines,” “Tom Dooley,” “Little Stream of Whiskey,” “Worried Blues,” “Liza Jane,” “Am I Born to Die,” “What Would You Give in Exchange for Your Soul” and “Doc’s Talkin’ Blues,” and the record closes with “Midnight on the Stormy Deep.” In 1984 the British label Sundown reissued the same twelve tracks, in the same order, as In the Pines (SDLP-1012).
