Observer review
of Don't Tell Me, I Don't Know: "With Watson singing his trademark
high tenor lead on every song, it's a very fine sound, indeed. The
album is brimming with highlights....the finest traditional music recording
to sprout from the Triangle's fertile fields in many years."...read

Charlie Gravel, Old Time Herald review: "The truth is, to do this one justice the bin divider in the CD store would pretty much have to be labeled, "String-Band, Eclectic." Despite the mix of styles, moods and tempoes, Jim manages to stay true to the forms, resulting in a comfortable recording that balances tradition with authentic originality. "This recording opens with
a rousing and joyful Hank Bradley tune called "Them Beautiful Bottles."
This number features Watson on vocal, guitar, bass and mandolin, Bill Hicks
on fiddle, and Joe Newberry on clawhammer banjo—a high-energy, good-time.
Jim’s singing is high, quirky, and thoroughly engaging, and the song whets
the appetite for the material that follows.
Our thoughts: "With Jim, Mike, Bill, and old-time music, Jim's new CD is like listening to the Original Red Clay Ramblers. What more could possibly need to be said?" ...RCR_fan |
