Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his massive mid-1970s career revitalization, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson delivers another heavily synthesized, deeply grooving funk masterpiece. The album relies on his signature sharp, blues-based guitar licks, playful vocal deliveries, and pervasive use of the Moog bass. It is an essential component of the era's flamboyant, highly stylized funk scene.
