If you are a big fan, though, you'll be especially interested in the 16 previously unreleased performances."〔 Mark Ray of ''No Depression'' wrote "By definition, The Vanguard Years is not a completist’s collection, although it is an expansive project , and much of Watson’s most popular work is represented here. More interesting, though, is the lesser-known material, on which Watson can be heard evolving his famous flatpicking style... The Vanguard Years is a definitive statement on Watson as an innovator. But it also stands as a testament to the effect a musician’s label can have on their career."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Vanguard Years (Doc Watson album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
