Not too distant cousin of mine.. My father was born the same year as Jean. My great-grandma was a Ritchie, the same clan of mountainous Perry Co., Ky. So many of the songs were of dark tragedy and horror. It's strange then to hear such a clear, sweet voice such as Jean, still do justice to the tradition. You'd think the subject matter of these stories would lend themselves to gruff, low sounds. But the breed of such people in Appalachia was tough at the core. I met many who hid well the hardship of their lives behind a wink and a smile. Listen to some of these tragic tales of terror, magnified by the isolation of mountain life. People carved by poverty & few choices. Add to that the hardships endured by Doc Watson, due to his 'orphaning' for his blindness.

Makes you wish you were there. "Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson at Folk City" makes me wish a was born about 20 years earlier! The pair compliment one another well and it is an excellent live album. I would recommend this album for fans folks who are already fan of Ritchie or Watson or both! However, if you're unfamiliar with their work, I would suggest buying "Jean Ritchie: Ballads from her Appalachian Family Tradition" or Doc Watson's self-titled album first, as those albums are more representative of their work.
