(openPR) - New York, NY—Coinciding with the installation and unveiling of a commemorative statue of guitarist Doc Watson in Boone, NC, Blooming Twig Books is reissuing “Blind but Now I See.” This is a no-holds barred biography of the legendary guitarist’s life and career. The book was researched for more than six years, and provides the first ever comprehensive look into the folk music icon’s life. “Blind but Now I See” also features dozens of never-before-seen photographs, as well as artist renderings from throughout Doc Watson’s childhood and career.

Written by Dr. Kent Gustavson, this controversial, first-ever biography of the folk and bluegrass icon has quickly become an Amazon Bestseller, reaching #1 in the Country & Folk category.
