Love Jones

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 35451) DJM, 1980 -- Condition: Used

One of the last great records by Johnny Guitar Watson -- and an album that's got some wonderfully subdued moments, which is a real relief after some of the too-funky bits on some of his other sets from the late 70s! Johnny returns to the tight soul of the mid 70s Fantasy LPs -- still keeping the guitar up in the mix, but also really focusing on his wonderfully compressed style of vocals -- a slightly tripped out mode that dances along beautifully with the guitar -- ta-ta-ing us to some great mellow grooves, and really letting Watson's personality shine! Titles include "Love Jones", "Asante Sana", "Lone Ranger", and "Children of the Universe". (Cover has a peeled spot from an old sticker.)  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.

Also available:
Johnny Guitar Watson -- Love Jones (expanded edition -- with bonus tracks) ... CD $4.99
