Album Description
Available in:
Recorded between 1952 and 1963. Includes liner notes by David Ritzand and James Austin. THE VERY BEST OF JOHNNY "GUITAR" WATSON is a misleading title. This compilation covers only Watson's earliest recordings, but it shows what an explosive and diverse talent he was right from the start (and would continue to be throughout a career that went well into the 1990s). Though he started off as a pianist (Watson shows off his hot boogie woogie skills on a few tracks here), his true goal was to do some damage with the guitar. "Space Guitar," for example, from 1954--which leads off this set--is a mind-blower. With its blistering fingering and psychedelic effects, the song sounds like nothing so much as Jimi Hendrix some 13 years before Hendrix burst onto the scene.
