Way above average lp of 60′s soul instrumentals by Johnny "Guitar" Watson. Unlike some records of this genre and era, there is a raw edge to the sound – it doesn't get bogged down in late 60′s production gimmicks, or overly bombastic horns like so many others. The cover reads "the fantastic piano & guitar of Johnny Watson" (guess he'd dropped the "guitar" from his name for a while) and sure enough, Johnny can get down on a piano like nobody's business. Check out his hard piano version of "Summertime".
