Johnny Guitar Watson: Ain't That A Bitch
Vivien Goldman, Sounds, 24 July 1976
JOHNNY GUITAR WATSON is one of the classiest musicians around, though you might not believe it from the packaging of his latest album. On which Johnny is being fawned upon by a white female and a black female, both clad in lurid, slinky satin. The basic message is pimp/stud, with the faintest tinge of superfly.
