4 Sure. He had another good song-I think it was called "It's a RealMother For You." Loved him heart music.

Johnny "Guitar" Watson was da man....he used to play in Germany in my hometown a couple of times. I even have a very old show on VHS, recorded in Germany. Very funky, and maybe a bit underrated.

Johnny Guitar Watson was a baaad cat. He really was known more as a piano player in the 50's, but like Sly, Shuggie, and Prince, he could play everything.
Got "Ain't That A Bitch" in the player right now.

IIRC Johnny Guitar released a jazz piano album in the 60's. He also played some cool George Benson-style jazz guitar on his '70s albums. Much more than 'just' a stingin' blues guitar player.

He is one of my favourate artists. smile

I agree 100%! I have all of Johhny's stuff from the 70's. Good thread. What it is, Spyz?!
