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, Untouchable and 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.
