Johnny 'Guitar' Watson - Ain't That A Bitch *** 1976

This one's arguably Johnny's best record of the post-Fantasy years -- largely because it's still got a pretty strong soul vibe, and less of the silly funk that could hurt later records. The record's got some wonderful trippy numbers -- cut in that slow g-funky mode that was Johnny's huge legacy to the west coast scene. Best of these is the classic "Superman Lover", a great little cut with a very catchy hook, and just the right dose of humor -- but you'll also catch the same vibe on "I Want To Ta Ta You Baby", "Ain't That A Bitch", and "I Need It". Johnny's sitting on the cover, surrounded by ladies and a dog -- what a guy! CD features the previously unreleased bonus cuts "Follow Me" and "Funkula".
