  6. Day 122 – Johnny “Guitar” Watson – Gangster Of Love

    August 10, 2011 by Farhang

    Johnny Guitar Watson’s ferocious “Space Guitar” of 1954 pioneered guitar feedback and reverb. His song “Gangster of Love” was first released on Keen Records in 1957. It did not appear in the charts at the time, but later became a hit in 1978 and identified as Watson’s “most famous song”.

    Watson died on stage on May 17, 1996, while on tour in Yokohama, Japan. According to eyewitness reports, he collapsed mid guitar solo. His last words were “ain’t that a bitch”, probably in reference to the song “Ain’t that a Bitch”.

  8. Day 120 – Gary Clark Jr. – Bright Lights

    August 7, 2011 by Farhang

    I’ll start with one of my favorites:

    Gary Clark Jr. is considered by some to be the leader of the Austin, Texas rock scene, offering a style that has at times been compared to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.Clark has established a resume, which has helped place him on a tier with musicians who have enabled him to share the stage with various legends of rock & roll.His live performances, as well as recordings, blend rock, soul and blues, infusing fluid guitar with a guttural howl and a falsetto trill that mix together.

    Do watch him perform live as well:
