This album is a time capsule of Watson's early years, capturing his raw talent and undeniable charisma that would go on to shape the landscape of R&B and funk music. From the opening track "Gangster of Love" to the infectious groove of "Three Hours Past Midnight," Watson's guitar playing is nothing short of electrifying. The production on this album is top-notch, with each track sounding crisp and vibrant. The sound quality really brings out the soulful rasp in Watson's vocals, making you feel like you're right there in the room with him as he lays down those killer licks. One of the standout tracks on this album is "Oh Baby," a slow-burning blues number that showcases Watson's versatility as a musician. The way he effortlessly switches between blistering guitar solos and smooth, crooning vocals is a sight to behold. Overall, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson: The Original Gangster of Love 1953-1959 is a must-listen for any fan of classic R&B and funk music. Watson's influence can still be felt in the music of today, and this album is a testament to his enduring legacy.
