...if you've never heard of the guy, Johnny Guitar Watson was one of the funkiest bluesmen around when the LP Real Mother for Ya dropped back when I was a kid...the album jacket drew my attention initially-- why is that pimp doing sitting in a golden baby buggy?" I thought, then I slapped that joint onto my uncle's turntables and got an electrified blues-education...
...I never knew until I started buying my own vinyl and digging for the facts that "dude had been around":http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:9t8m965odep7~T1 since the 50's and the shite I was listening to mid-70s was him re-inventing himself into the funk-blues meister that I was vibin'...right on...while the entire LP's considered a classic, the cuts that I first fell in love with in the late 70s are still the ones I jump to, they include: "A Real Mother for Ya", "You'r Love is My Love" and "The Real Deal"...you can "check them here, if you like":http://www.thestore24.com/Music/Album.aspx?p_id=P+++136438&a_id=R+++796774&PersonID=P%20%20%20136438&prodid=SHFA34059.2&si=rhino if you like (highly recommended)...those who are down with what Jimi Hendrix was striving for with tunes like "Message to Love" (which he cut with the Band of Gypsies) wherein he harmonizes with the notes of his solos, you'll love this LP, Watson's got a lock on that shite, yo-- making A Real Mother for Ya is one of those platters that really do still matter and that's word, son...
