TOP 10 BLUES ALBUMS EVER!, 12 July 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hot Just Like TNT (Audio CD)
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 STUFF
BE GOOD AND TURN IT UP!

Johnny "Guitar" Watson; Blues Funk Master, 16 Oct 2001
By "magicfred" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hot Just Like TNT (Audio CD)
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!!!!!!!!

One of the first kings of distortion., 29 Jan 2007
By P.J. Le Faucheur - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hot Just Like TNT (Audio CD)
Together with Albert Collins & Guitar Slim (Eddie Jones) Johnny Guitar Watson was an innovator and an advocate of the now famous "dirty tone".
That busted amp, overdrive distortion sound is now commonplace but JGW was using it long before Hendrix came on the scene.
Listen to "Hot Little Mama" and you'll hear how Watson influenced so many young white Blues singers/guitarists, among them Johnny Winter & Steve Miller. Winter tried hard to sound alot like Johnny G during his early years and did well.
Frank Zappa considered JGW to be the best ever. On this CD here there isn't one bad track. My favourite is the one that became famously connected to Johnny i.e. "Three Hours Past Midnight". Nobody does this song like him. This CD is beautifully presented with a cover that says it all and a good amount of useful info in the liner notes. Get this one before it becomes deleted which is commonplace with "ACE" CD's. Don't bother with any of the '70s funk compilations.
