about
Guitarists Jeff Parker and Matthew Stevens have shared a new recording of “Alberta,” featured on a new tribute album to the pioneering legacy of Doc Watson. I Am A Pilgrim: Doc Watson at 100 will be released April 28 on FLi Records / Budde Music. Jeff Parker is an experimental musician that has released a number of acclaimed solo recordings and key projects in the worlds of jazz, electronic, rock and improvisational music. Matthew Stevens is a GRAMMY-winning guitarist, composer and producer; he produced this loving tribute to Watson, and his many notable credits include his work with esperanza spalding and Terri Lyne Carrington. “Alberta” is Parker and Stevens’ first recording together, a beautiful and warm take on a traditional blues song with a rich history that became a staple of the folk revival, thanks in part to Doc Watson’s embrace of it.
Watson recorded “Alberta” for his 1966 album Southbound, considered a pivotal point in his career for his approach to not only traditional music but also his own original material and reworking of newer country songs of the time. “Alberta” was also recorded by Bob Dylan (Self Portrait) and Odetta among others.
Says Parker: “It’s such a privilege to get to make music with my friend, the great guitarist Matthew Stevens, and channel some of the mournful beauty within Doc Watson’s ‘Alberta.’”

I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals). brit_b
I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
