The only single CD of Johnny's funk hits in print! He plays almost every instrument on these killer grooves: his hits A Real Mother for Ya; Superman Lover; I Need It; Love Jones; Telephone Bill; Gangster of Love , and more. Over 55 minutes of funk!
This one shot way up on the pop and R&B charts, with that #5 R&B title smash plus the Top 40 Lover Jones . Watson does everything on this record but horns and drums (he was a real mother for ya, all right), and this reissue adds two unissued bonus cuts to The Real Deal; Tarzan; Nothing Left to Be Desired , and the rest of the original release.
This Houston-born slinger grew up in very good guitar company, trading licks with Johnny Copeland and Albert Collins, yet he managed to carve out his own place in blues history. He was one of the best, and here are 27 of his best: Gangster of Love; Motor Head Baby; Space Guitar; I Got Eyes; What's Goin' On; In the Evenin' , and more of his prized 1952-54 King sides!
His blues chops made fans out of Lightnin' Hopkins and Jimi Hendrix, but it's his awesome funk records that have had hip-hoppers reaching for their samplers again and again. Here's the first proper collection of Johnny's '70s and '80s funk tracks, many long out of print: Superman Lover; Ain't That a Bitch; I Need It; Tarzan; Funk Beyond the Call of Duty; Strung Out; Booty Ooty; Love Jones , and 23 more including six unissued cuts!
In the mid-1960s, Johnny "Guitar" Watson hooked up with Larry Williams (who by that time was the West Coast recording producer for Okeh) and recorded a number of sides for that label, including the Top 40 R&B hits "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and "Nobody" (which was recorded along with Kaleidoscope). This collection compiles the best of the three albums he recorded for the Okeh label, and includes two tracks originally released as singles in 1967.
Frank Zappa's concerts at the Roxy Theatre in Holywood in December 1973 are legendary. Frank and the Mothers played three nights on December 8th, 9th & 10th and these shows formed the basis of the 'Roxy & Elsewhere' album that was released in 1974. However the performances were also filmed in 16mm and this footage has been sitting in the Zappa vault ever since. Now fully restored by the Zappa Family Trust this live concert film is being made available for the first time. It captures Frank and the Mothers at the height of their powers and includes material that is unique to these performances. ... [Read More]
