Album Description
1978’s Giant continued the blues master’s adventures in the land of funk, with a healthy dollop of Chic-styled disco added to the mix. A remake of his classic ’50s single "Gangster Of Love" yielded a Top 40 R&B hit, and pushed the album into the R&B Top 20.

Customer Reviews

ANY RECORDING BY JOHNNY GUITAR
GETS FIVE STARS FROM ME, 'CAUSE I KNOW I'M GONNA LOVE IT. THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION. SELF-PRODUCED (AND RELATIVELY LOW BUDGET, BUT YOU 'D NEVER KNOW IT), JOHNNY PLAYS VIRTUALLY EVERY INSTRUMENT ON THIS CD (EXCEPT FOR BACKUP VOCALS). HIS LATTER DAY STUFF ALWAYS HAS A NICE FUNKY BEAT. THIS GUY JUST OOOOOOOOZES TALENT, LIKE OTIS REDDING, ARETHA FRANKLIN, OR STEVIE WONDER, BUT HE NEVER GOT AS FAMOUS AS ANY OF THOSE GREAT PERFORMERS, AND IF YOU ASK SOMEONE LIKE SNOOP DOGG, HE WILL TELL YOU THAT JOHNNY GUITAR "INVENTED" RAP MUSIC. NOT HIS BEST CD, BUT YOU WILL EMNJOY IT FOR SURE. GREAT RE-MAKES OF "GANGSTER OF LOVE", YOU CAN STAY (BUT THE NOISE MUST GO), AND "YOU DO ME BAD SO GOOD".

Jonny Guitar Watson - Giant
This CD was popular with songs in 1978 when disco was at its peek. Excellent recording.
