In the past Junior has always been the sideman or featured artist. For the first time in his career, he has a band that is taking the backseat while Junior does all the driving. For the first time, you can hear this amazing, original artist wail all night long. This fact alone is exciting and when unleashed, Junior will prove to the rest of the blues community what his cult status is all about.

“Jr. Watson is an instrumentalist so simultaneously right and off the wall that ‘genius’ would not be an inappropriate title...the best blues guitarist now working…” (L.A. Times)

“Jr. Watson is widely regarded as one of the best swing school of blues guitarist...and is a consummate Chicago-style blues player.” (Guitar Player)

“Watson unleashed some of the most fiery guitar work heard locally since Texas blues upstart Stevie Ray Vaughan blasted
through town...his well-grounded mastery of blues guitar
styles is spiced with wild cartoonish jumps of logic.”
(Orange County Register)

“Junior is equally expert at the Jimmy Rogers/Robert Jr. Lockwood Chicago style of accompanying harmonica as well as upbeat swing and jump blues of  Tiny Grimes and Oscar Moore.”
(Guitar World)
