Description
With Johnny 'Guitar' Watson we present an exceptionally inventive and style-defining musician in the 'Rocks' series on Bear Family Records. As 'Young' John Watson, he enjoyed his first triumphs as a teenager and pianist, before coaxing never-before-heard sounds from his Fender guitar and amplifier with Space Guitar in 1954 and henceforth being celebrated as Johnny 'Guitar' Watson!We follow his career from 1953 to '64 with a focus on the uptempo numbers driven by his razor-sharp guitar tone.
- Including Hot Little Mamma, Too Tired, the great Gangster Of Love, Johnny Guitar, Untouchableand Cuttin' In, his biggest hit to date (1961).
- Extensive liner notes by Chicago music historian Bill Dahl, plus discographical details and illustrations in the comprehensive booklet.
- Carefully remastered recordings from the best available sources.
