I want to hear some his early LIVE recordings... if there are any... like from the 50s ...... this guy had so much swagger..... can anyone tell me where I could find recordings of this man in the 50s? I would be very grateful... as a guitarist and human... thank you...
What an awesome performer and guitar player.His guitar playing is so sweet and infectious.This man is true talent they don;t make them like this anymore
Truely the best of the best ! Love this shuffel, I can listen to it for hours. Very underrated performer. A true genious. words aren't enough. love ya JGW !!!!!!!!
@Smedley: Ich habe ihn insgesamt 3 Mal live in concert erlebt. In der Kölner Baghwan Disco stand er plötzlich bei 30 Grad Aussentemperatur einen "Pelzmantel" tragend mitten im Publikum.
He was the real the gangster of love, the real mother for ya, the superman lover, mister space guitar, an innovator, inspirator, a real musician, a legend....i still miss you Johnny.
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
Son what are you talking about. Johnny Guitar Watson recorded Gangsta of Love in the Late 50's. Steve Miller probably was in grade school at that time. come on man get your facts straight. Again 1950's
AWESOME performance and clip! You know youre a bad man to were you can make your guitar cluck like a chicken, gallop like a horse, make engine noises, AND then use it to thank the audience! LOLLL!
Under rated as a musician song writer and performer! Get his "Best of CDs" He wrote and recorded alot of great songs! RIP, in the funk and blues hall of fame!
MR. Johnny Guitar Watson back in the 50's sang with my Uncle Frankie Ervin and the Shields along with Charles Wright of Watts 103rd St Band(Express your Self) and I know my Uncle is Gangsta with his...RIP Mr. Watson...LONG RANGER!!!!"Traveing through the World always a stranger" HOLLA JUDAH
this guy was amazing..had the real mutha for ya album years ago....no one performs like this anymore...maybe Lucky Petterson comes close....a real talent.
I like how he made the "Thank you" sound using the guitar in the beginning
