Contributor Dan McGrath offered this additional track on our Mother's Day theme from the late Johnny "Guitar" Watson, one of the hottest West Coast blues guitarists of the 50's who adopted an image of what AllMuisc.com called a "pimp-styled funkster" in the 1970's. It's that 70's funk sensibilty that permeates this version of the song which he first recorded for the 1958 album "Gangster of Love." Title: A Real Mother for Ya By: Johnny "Guitar" Watson Album: A Real Mother for Ya Year: 1977 |
Earthquake, tsunami,
I hear a little "Get Up Off of That Thing" from the "Godfather" in the horn riff, too.
