Our Take

Johnny Guitar Watson bursts onto the scene with his self-titled album, showcasing his unique blend of funk, soul, and just a touch of rock and roll.

From the moment the opening track hits your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. Watson's guitar skills are on full display, with funky riffs and blistering solos that will have you grooving uncontrollably.

But it's not just his guitar playing that shines on this album. Watson's smooth vocals effortlessly glide over each track, adding a soulful depth to his already impressive sound.

Tracks like "A Real Mother For Ya" and "Superman Lover" are funky, catchy, and just downright infectious. You'll find yourself singing along and tapping your feet without even realizing it.

While some may argue that the album lacks a bit of cohesion, with Watson jumping between genres and styles, I would argue that it's all part of the charm. This is a musician who refuses to be confined by labels or expectations, and it makes for an exhilarating listening experience.

So if you're in the mood for some funky, soulful goodness, look no further than Johnny Guitar Watson's self-titled album. It's a wild and wacky ride that's sure to leave you smiling from ear to ear.
