Johnny Guitar Watson Lover jones

[bangform]

class from the master

[frg8524]

This song has my favorite JGW solo!

[grextchen7grenxade]

i was five when i got itroduced to his music, im going to say this he was 1 of the badest muthafuckas on the otherside hendricks to play the guitar and was one of the first to auto tone his voice on record way before roger and zapp came out.

[jenja718]

who in the hell can touch the guitar after Mr. JGW have blessed it?!

[ultravioleta3]

Yes they should make a movie about JGW for sure. He's still rockin hot!!!!!!!!!! I can't all that talent in one human being......

[Beanz850]

I PURCHASE THIS SONG WHEN FRIST CAME OUT ON ALBUM-AND STILL SOUND GOOD.

[MrTrackfreek]

THE BASS ON THIS SONG IS CRAZY IT'S LIKE THE STRINGS ARE BARELY HANGING ON .BUT IT WORKS.HAS THAT COWBOY FEEL TO THE BASS SOUND.

[doc2earth]

Almost sounds like Frank Zappa produced this. Frank was a huge life long fan of Watson.

[Jnkdog]

One of the most under rated people/musicians on earth. Great stuff.

[starex163]

Best guitar player, to ever walk this globe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dhelpfulhands]

Funkiest instrumental EVA! Talent...pure talent. This was music, this made you bob your head without trying.

[roaddawg2727]

[cheyennedubois]

Best blues guitar

[sailorguyli]

[bobbycoltrane]

Fire one up for Johnny Guitar Watson!

[752367]

I bought the album when I heard Aint That a Bitch back in the day when Block parties was the hi & safe.. Then I got the CD's Man noboby in my house can touch my JGW ever. My husband get's in my car that's what we listened too.

I Blow it in my car thank goodness I have good speakers.

Whew! R.I.P. JGW that's what I'm talkin about genius he have that guitar talking.

[cheyennedubois]

rip johnny "guitar" watson

[RoofFiddler]

Straight up unapologetic nastiness.

Love that it's a full five minute cut. All good grooves like this one last much longer than how long the commercial music business demands a song be so it can fit between commercials on the radio.

[srercrcr]

I'll stick with the original 60s Johnny

[niggafrom901]

@srercrcr what do u have of the johnny of the 70s'? please tell me,i'm very interested on your opinion,just for research purposes,thanking you in advance

[urwclwg]

this bit at 3:49; the whole song rotates around the low note.

[urwclwg]

3:49; the low note there was a favorite of the smackers in the Sinai.

[firstchoice1956]

I was living in Washington D.C. when I made this immaculate discovery of soul and funk fused together. Johnny Watson had the city listening and grooving on his sound. All classics all good always...

[1TICKHAND]

the man the ledgend

[videogirlzzzzzz]

Put the L in my loving, the S in my sunshine! Gone Johnny!

[LilSpeedie1]

Best jam ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u show know how to be woman and u know how to let a man be a man!

[actron]

AWESOME SONG!!!!

[cheyennedubois]

geeeeenial

[Shaunduhpostman]

Damn! This some of duh funkiest nastiest stuff on earth! I'm sorry, there's no other words!

[potatoepeter1]

Der hat mal in Dulach gespielt. War ich da breit...

[ValamirCleaver]

DAMN! No wonder DJ Pooh used it for King Tee's "Act a Fool , this is the jam!"

[mssquirrely]

[uzipolo]

this is my fovorite cut by him and just think he was ALREADY 18-20 years in the game ALREADY when this came out , the Soul Train perfomance he did on soul train was incredible a true artist he defitnly had the carisma he is really a blues player though and this shows in the solo of this records..real good..says uzi polo-king of decatur

[5277088]

Which performance on Soul Train? Which song, Uzi??

[uzipolo]

it was season 7 episode 227 1977 the whispers was on the same show, the stage/set changed around this time as well he sung 3 songs this was the closer the opener was real mutha.. then he sung tarzan and came out with a fine ass girl in a tarzan outfit barfooted

[scoobieracer]

I wish someone would post his " too late to close the Barn door after the horse done gone" Just love Johnny

[jody808]

[jdogg66]

[olivier22600]

ca dechire

[sweetangel2002u]

This is probably my favorite cut on the album...well... there is Thank you and Tarzan too.... UGH! can't decide!

[diddyodog]

God rest his soul...we miss him. What A GENIUS !!

[LowRCS]

Indio156 ~ Couldn't agree more. Rest his soul, Bernie Mac would have been perfect for this part.

[Indio156]

Someone like Oliver Stone needs to get the heads up about this wonderful man, and make a great Bio film.  Of even Spike Lee...

[gittahfiend]

REALLY!!!This mans life would make a GREAT

film!

[DEFRATTLE]

they should make a film about johnny guitar watson and get dave chappelle to play him.

anyone else agree ?

[gittahfiend]

How about the kid who played"bud"on the cosby show?by now he looks just like Johnny watson.

[viewson800]

@DEFRATTLE Great idea! Maybe he'll get an oscar for it.

[dagnut]

[AbbottSupreme]

LOVER JONES!!!!!A real mutha 4 ya..word up!!!!

[nlane17]

I have found a renewed love for just absorbing the essence of his musical genius and lyrical style!!!!!!!!!!!

[CoDivaTheGr8]

Truly when music was REALLY music....and oh by the way, they played their own music with REAL instruments...aaah the days of old. Oh and I agree, he and his crew was definitely overlooked and underrated. We used to wear this album out!

[Rootslove]

@CoDiva,

thats why i rate this with 5 Stars.

10 Stars if i could !!!

nice song, cool groove, - i love Mr. Watson.

r.i.p.

PEACE

[hankymobley]

Great person, entertainer, musician, talent and sound. Great example of an artists who is very overlooked. That's the music industry.....pity it is. He was the real.

[loosestudios]

Fank Zappa stated that "Watson's 1956 song 'Three Hours Past Midnight' inspired me to become a guitarist." Steve Miller not only did a cover of "Gangster of Love," he made a reference to it in his 1969 song "Space Cowboy

Sly Stone was influenced by Watson growing up, and later they became friends.

[ericcactus]

yes, indeed, the best

[DJLOPEZ80]

Johnny Guitar Watson...

The Best!!!!
