Doc and Merle were a legendary father and son bluegrass dream team. Any of their albums will stun you with the speed and beauty of the playing and singing. Doc was/is blind and still continues to tour. Most recently with our pal David Holt (coming soon!). Merle passed way too early when his tractor flipped over on top of him. Masters of their craft.
