This interest ultimately culminated in the first extensive biography of Doc Watson, titled Blind But Now I See.[1] The book features interviews with a multitude of friends and musicians familiar with Watson, including Ben Harper, Béla Fleck, members of the Seeger family, and many others.[3] The book was well received by critics, who particularly praised the extensive research and detail put into the book.[4][5] The book won the 2011 Next Generation Indie Book Award for best biography and was a finalist in the 2010 book of the year awards presented by ForeWord Magazine.[6][7] After the death of Doc Watson in May 2012, Gustavson was invited onto Public Radio Tulsa, a National Public Radio network station, to discuss his legacy.[2] ProfessorGustavson previously served as a professor at Stony Brook University, where he taught courses in subjects including writing, music, and the German language.[8] He also hosts workshops internationally.[11] PerformerGustavson has recorded more than a dozen albums. His 2004 album Stolen Shack was featured on NPR's All Songs Considered program. Host Robin Hilton praised the album, stating that "the CD has songs from the Civil War and from Cyndi Lauper, from Ireland and Asbury Park, and somehow it all works."[9] Gustavson's recording of the hymn "And Am I Born To Die" which was featured on that record was nominated for a Just Plain Folks award.[10] InfluencesGustavson cites musician and record producer Michael Chorney and guitarist Doc Watson as important influences to his musical performance and career interests.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/interview-author-dr-kent-gustavson-discusses-his-doc-watson |archive-url=https://archive.is/20130411133538/http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/interview-author-dr-kent-gustavson-discusses-his-doc-watson |dead-url=yes |archive-date=April 11, 2013 |title=Interview: Author Dr. Kent Gustavson Discusses His Doc Watson Biography "Blind But Now I See" |last1=Mateer |first1=Chris |date=September 12, 2012 |work= |publisher=No Depression |accessdate=February 18, 2013 }} 2. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://publicradiotulsa.org/post/blind-now-i-see-biography-music-legend-doc-watson |title=Blind but Now I See: The Biography of Music Legend Doc Watson |last1=Fisher |first1=Rich |date=July 5, 2012 |work= |publisher=Public Radio Tulsa |accessdate=February 18, 2013}} 3. ^{{cite book |last=Gustavson |first=Kent |authorlink= |title=Blind But Now I See: The Biography of Music Legend Doc Watson |year=2012 |publisher=Blooming Twig Books |location=New York City |isbn=978-1-937753-00-9}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.countrystandardtime.com/d/bookreview.asp?xid=59 |title=Blind But Now I See By Kent Gustavson |last1=Yost |first1=Greg |date=November 2010 |work= |publisher=Country Standard Time |accessdate=February 17, 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/doc-watson-blind-but-now-i-see |title=Doc Watson: Blind But Now I See (Book Review) |last1=Ogdin |first1=Dustin |date=October 5, 2010 |work= |publisher=No Depression |accessdate=February 18, 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.indiebookawards.com/2011_winners_and_finalists.php |title=2011 Next Generation Indie Book Awards |author= |year=2011 |work= |publisher=Next Generation Indie Book Awards |accessdate=February 18, 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130305214730/http://www.indiebookawards.com/2011_winners_and_finalists.php |archivedate=March 5, 2013 |df= }} 7. ^{{cite web |url=https://botya.forewordreviews.com/finalists/2010/biography/ |title=BOTYA 2010 Finalists in Biography (Adult Nonfiction) |author= |year=2010 |work= |publisher=ForeWord Reviews |accessdate=February 18, 2013}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bloomingtwig.com/featured_authors/authors/dr-kent-gustavson/ |title=Dr. Kent Gustavson |author= |date= |work= |publisher=Blooming Twig Books |accessdate=February 18, 2013}} 9. ^{{cite AV media |people=Hilton, Robin |year=2004 |title=All Songs Considered Episode 60 |medium=radio |url=https://www.npr.org/programs/asc/archives/asc60/ |accessdate=February 25, 2013 |publisher=National Public Radio}} 10. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.stonybrook.edu/ucolleges/lds/files/LDS%20102s.pdf |title=LDS 102.5: Service & Success |author= |date= |work=LDS 102 First-Year Seminars |publisher=Stony Brook University |page=3 |format=PDF |accessdate=February 25, 2013}} External links
