Funk Beyond the Call of Duty [Original recording remastered]
Editorial Reviews Jet magazine called him "one of rhythm & blues most influential musicians." With a career spanning 40 years, Johnny "Guitar" Watson had success with blues, R&B and jazz. But his commercial and artistic apex came with his late 70s and early 80s funk recordings. Shout! Factory is proud to present three deluxe new editions of his classic funk albums Aint That A Bitch, A Real Mother For Ya and Funk Beyond The Call Of Duty as part of an ongoing series in 2005 and early 2006. Previously Unreleased Bonus Tracks 8. Can You Handle It 9. Virginias Pretty Funky Funk Beyond The Call Of Duty, released the same year as A Real Mother For Ya , was his most hard-edged release to date. Not only were the grooves more intense, but he also upped the quotient of gritty blues guitar soloing. Despite being released so close to A Real Mother, the album managed to make it to #20 on the Black Albums chart and the lower reaches of the Pop chart.
