Johnny "Guitar" Watson |
 | | Given complete creative control by owner Dick James, Watson rose to the challenge with a series of recordings that merged his blues guitar skills with the emerging funk style, which was rhythmic, laid-back, and bass-heavy. |
 | | So let the records show that there are serious students of soul music who consider Watson a figure of critical importance in the evaluation of blues-based music. |
 | | In 1976, Watson released 'Ain't That A Bitch' on DJM Records, a brilliant marriage of 50's rockin' R & B, Hollywood schmaltz and futuristic funk. |
