"Johnny Watson's early records on Modern and RPM. Just some of the best damn blues music ever recorded. People like Kim Wilson, Robert Cray, Wolfman Washington and even young Sean Costello have recorded Johnny "Guitar" Watson. Not as much R&B or funk at this time but you could certainly see where he was going. A must for any traditonal blues lover!!!!!!!!"

"THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, THIS IS IN MY TOP 10 FOR BLUES ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. THERE IS A SOUL HERE, AN EERY GOODNESS TO THIS MUSIC THAT YOU CAN NOT RESIST! AND AS JIMMY ROGERS ONCE SAID, IF YOU CANT DIG THIS, YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOUR SOUL.BUY IT! PLAIN AND SIMPLE. ACE RECORDS REISSUES ARE ALWAYS GOOD AND ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS JOHHNYS EARLY STUFF ITS AMAZING! IN THE LINERS IT MENTIONS HE KEPT BLOWING CHANNELS ON THE MIXER IN THE STUDIO WHEN THEY RECORDED THIS BECAUSE HE HAD HIS AMP UP SO HOT.....MOST GUITARISTS LOOSE TONE WHEN TURNING UP VOLUME, JOHHNY GAINED TONE!!!!!!!!IF YOU DONT GET THIS, YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE. AND ALSO LOOK INTO THE AMAZING NEW 'WYNONIE HARRIS' LOVIN MACHINE ACE REISSUE. THIS IS ALSO AMAZING STUFFBE GOOD AND TURN IT UP!"
