  • Johnny Guitar Watson Houston Texas,along with Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland, what in the Hell are they doing in Texas.Nasty ass guitar players all of them RIP

  • dude why are you focusing on the bowel functions of these guitar players. Focus on the music it's more fun.

  • He was the Ganngsta of Love not Steve Miller who stole his line

  • it was steve miller who first recorded it ! but i prefer jgw,s version
