Here's what i'd have to say, if i had to say it, a masterpiece of bluegrass folk. Tho the recording cuts off the last part of the last note and tantamounts spray painting the spot on the Mona Lisa that you study last just before you wander off to another part of the Lerrrv, still this virtuouso, from Doc Watson's trailing guitar picking (you need you headphones for full effect) --chords a note at a time, running scales really, behind Bill Monroe's easy vocals on the old 18th century murder ballad Banks of the Ohio, to the two of 'em's vocal harmony on the chorus, done old-timey style with Watson singing the 'high 7th' bridge, this is old and very special.
