"JOHNNY GUITAR WATSON HAD A LONG AND PROLIFIC, IF A BIT OVERLOOKED CAREER. HE PLAYED A LOT OF GREAT MUSIC FROM THE EARLY 50'S RIGHT UP UNTIL THE TIME HE DROPPED DEAD ONSTAGE IN JAPAN MANY YEARS LATER. THIS ALBUM IS FROM THE "FUNK" STAGE OF HIS CAREER, CIRCA 1977. AND IT IS ONE OF HIS BEST. FRANK ZAPPA ONCE DESCRIBED JOHNNY'S GUITAR PLAYING AS SOUNDING "LIKE AN ICEPICK IN THE FOREHEAD", AND THE DESCRIPTION FITS. AND ETTA JAMES CREDITS HER STYLE OF SINGING FROM LISTENING TO JOHNNY GUITAR. THIS ALBUM IS JUST ONE MORE REASON HE IS THE GANGSTER OF LOVE!"
