Home Again! is the fourth studio album American folk music artist Doc Watson, released in 1966.
Two of the songs were co-written with fiddler Gaither Carlton, Doc's father-in-law.
Reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Bruce Eder called the album "his most affecting folk-style record, with unexpectedly warm vocals matched to the quiet virtuosity of his playing... This album was a great showcase for Watson's voice — vaguely similar to but rougher-hewn than Burl Ives — which is often overlooked in the aura of his playing."
