THE VERY BEST OF JOHNNY "GUITAR" WATSON is a misleading title. This compilation covers only Watson's earliest recordings, but it shows what an explosive and diverse talent he was right from the start (and would continue to be throughout a career that went well into the 1990s). Though he started off as a pianist (Watson shows off his hot boogie woogie skills on a few tracks here), his true goal was to do some damage with the guitar.
"Space Guitar," for example, from 1954--which leads off this set--is a mind-blower. With its blistering fingering and psychedelic effects, the song sounds like nothing so much as Jimi Hendrix some 13 years before Hendrix burst onto the scene. But even when Watson takes it back home for some gutbucket blues, his style is pyrotechnic and distinctive. In his dexterity and the fierceness of his attack, Watson sounds far, far ahead of his time, a fact that only adds to the pleasure he provides on these fine blues tracks.

While there's little startling about this 1999 collection of predominantly acoustic covers from the Chicago harpist/vocalist, the band and Simmons consistently find a low-key groove that's intoxicating.
