Southbound finds Doc Watson in the late phase of his Vanguard years, delivering the combination of traditional Appalachian material and early country and blues that had made him one of the most respected figures in acoustic American music. The album includes 'Tennessee Stud,' which Watson transformed into a showcase for his narrative singing and rhythmic guitar drive. By this point in his career, Watson's flat-picking style had become the template against which most acoustic guitarists measured themselves, and his influence on both country and folk music scenes was profound.
