Raleigh, N.C. — Doc Watson, the blind Grammy-award winning folk musician whose mountain-rooted sound was embraced by generations and whose lightning-fast style of flatpicking influenced guitarists around the world, died Tuesday at a North Carolina hospital, according to a hospital spokeswoman and his manager. He was 89.
Watson died at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, where he was hospitalized recently after falling at his home in Deep Gap, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. He underwent abdominal surgery while in the hospital and had been in critical condition for several days.
Arthel "Doc" Watson's mastery of flatpicking helped make the case for the guitar as a lead instrument in the 1950s and 1960s, when it was often considered a backup for the mandolin, fiddle or banjo. His fast playing could intimidate other musicians, even his own grandson, who performed with him.

Nashville, Tenn. -- It may be impossible to overstate the importance of bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs to American music. A pioneering banjo player who helped create modern country music, his sound is instantly recognizable and as intrinsically wrapped in the tapestry of the genre as Johnny Cash's baritone or Hank Williams' heartbreak.
Scruggs died Wednesday morning at age 88 of natural causes. The legacy he helped build with bandleader Bill Monroe, guitarist Lester Flatt and the rest of the Blue Grass Boys was evident all around Nashville, where he died in an area hospital. His string-bending, mind-blowing way of picking helped transform a regional sound into a national passion.
"It's not just bluegrass, it's American music," bluegrass fan turned country star Dierks Bentley said. "There's 17- or 18-year-old kids turning on today's country music and hearing that banjo and they have no idea where that came from. That sound...

Deep Elem Blues by Vanguard Records
Bob Dylan turns 70 next week, an occasion that has been and will continue to be marked by opportunistic think pieces and reheated commentary concerning America's most celebrated songwriter and arguably easiest target. Two days later, Levon Helm--the one-time Dylan drummer who backed the bard during his early electric days--will turn 71, an occasion that will doubtlessly be marked by much less ceremony and verbosity.
A week ahead of his old boss's big day, though, Helm has released Ramble at the Ryman, a CD and DVD recording of a massive Sept. 2008 concert he hosted in Nashville's legendary auditorium. Before Dylan becomes a temporary buzzword next week, it's a 15-track, career-crossing compendium worth exploring.
Not every bit of Ramble at the Ryman is noteworthy: Helm and Sheryl Crow never quite find their mutual mark on the mandolin trot of "Evangeline," and this take on "Time Out...
