This review is from: Very Best of Johnny Guitar Watson: Gangster Love (Audio CD)

27 tracks of sonic excellence made from 1953 to 1963, with a heavy R&B feel. Though no BB King, Johnny "Guitar" Watson was a flamboyant guitarist and vocalist who made and remade hits like "Gangster Of Love." The lyrics won't impress you with their profundity, but I found myself laughing more than once.

Anything that's this much fun is worth 5 Stars.
