"I'm just repeating here what I wrote for my Gangster of Love review: Ignore all the compilations and "Best of Johnny's", because Gangster of Love and 3 Hours Past Midnight are your definitive recordings. Johnny Guitar Watson smoked 'em out of the hall every time he picked up a guitar. You can hear Johnny's licks in most rock and blues played after this, but he played with style. I'm not a big fan of the 70's funk scene that he took part in, but his blues and rock & roll are all-time hits. It's right here. And get Gangster of Love, another top-ten all-time rockin' & rollin' blues recording you'll wonder how you lived without. These two Cds never find their way back to the shelf in my house."
