Watson died of cardiac infarction on May 17, 1996, while on tour in Yokohama, Japan. According to eyewitness reports, he collapsed in mid guitar solo. His last words were "ain't that a bitch", probably in reference to the song "Ain't that a Bitch". His remains were brought home for interment at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
ABDUL JABAR COULDN'T MAKE THESE PRICES WIT' A SKYHOOK!" LMAO He knew a recession was coming YEARS before hand! LOL I would like to thank my popo (grandpa) for showing what classic music is! I LOVE THIS SONG!
J.G.Watson was truly remarkable. Guitar Slim, Albert Collins & Johnny Watson were the first guys to use feedback and heavy distortion. This was some 15-20 years before Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck. Frank Zappa emphasised this fact so many times.
Sometimes I wish I was born a little earlier. Where has the artistry in music gone? A lot of this stuff was made before I was born is so much better that the stuff around now. And what is the saddest part about it that most my generation and the generation after mine don't realize there are being fed corporate crap to make money.. insulting their intelligence but alot don't even get it. "Somebody doing something slick" how true.
kooljuice93: You are absolutely 300% correct. I grew up in the early-mid 60s and saw some of the finest artists BUT i have to be honest even back then we ,who were alive, didn't appreciate many of the artists that we were seing. We also took it all for granted. It wasn't until many yrs afterwards that we REALISED that guys like Hendrix & JG Watson were unique innovators. Since the '80s there haven't REALLY been many innovators, only copyists.
Used to listen to this in Arizona on 1060 KUKQ AM radio back in the early 80's when I was still in high school! Yeah you read it right, AM radio!! Loved it then, love it now!:):)

Could you tell which tracks of theirs use feedback? Thanks, I've been looking for some new old music.

garmonbozia318; Look for "Hot Like TNT" by JG Watson. Also then very early 1952 Albert Collins recordings with Big Walter Price are astonishing.
