Doc, Ricky, Alison. Down in the Valley...
Story of a song
Doc Watson heard this song from his grandmother. Alison Kraus found it in Watson's recordings, and so must have changed "valley" to "river" -- an inspired choice. It's now a Bluegrass standard, with a very fine version done by the Petersen sisters, and another by a very young group of Burnett sisters.
