Then and Now is the title of a studio album by American country music artists Doc Watson and Merle Watson, released in 1973.
At the Grammy Awards of 1974, this father and son collaboration won the 1973 Grammy Award for Best Ethnic or Traditional Folk Recording.
Sugar Hill records re-issued versions — that excluded some tracks — of both Then and Now and Two Days in November in 1994. BGO Records released both with additional tracks from The Elementary Doctor Watson! in 2002.
