CD ReviewsToo Cold mistermaxxx@yahoo.com | usa | 08/18/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Johnny Guitar Watson had a Signature Sound on the Guitar along with his too cool vocals that always hit home. "a Real Mother for Ya" is stil a Monster Jam. He had a free flow style that worked. you can hear some Ray Charles Harmony in his overall delievery as well. the amazing thing about Johnny Guitar Watson is that he re-invented himself from the Blues&adapted to the Funk&brought along his own bag of the Funk. BrotherMan was doing it all as a Writer, Arranger, Producer&overall Multi Instrumentalist. He gave Social Commentary, always had Humor&a down home folk vibe that was timeless as his Guitar Playing. RIP" Discover the Funk! G. E. Williams | California | 07/12/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Several years ago I wrote an essay about the Funk of the 70's on an AOL blog, and was responded to by a very nice woman who asked me where I placed Johnny Guitar Watson in the Funk vs. Soul Vs. Rock argument.
I had to respond, who???? That night I went and got some JGW and have I been loving his tunes ever since. So how did I miss this great of the Funk era? I don't really know other than the fact that I found the Funk I used to play at dances by chance, as it wasn't on the local radio... ever. The record stores that I used to go to were private stores that mostly catered to Rock Music, and the chain store in the mall that catered to top 40, so... never spending time in LA clubs where JGW might have been played, I just never came across him on accident. So for those of you who like me might have missed this wonderful artist when he was around, what is the music like? The JGW on this album is a good collection of danceable funk music leaning heavily on the Blues part of R&B, but with funny lyrics, that remind us not to take the good or bad times too serious. Some examples off this CD; Superman Lover, Gangster of Love, "Ain't that a *****" Very fun music! So here's the deal. If you like the Old BB King kind of Blues, and the Funky (non Disco) dance music from the '70's, you may find this CD as addictive as we have in my office! " |
