notes:

If you’re into raw, authentic blues with a touch of early soul, 

this rare single from Johnny Guitar Watson is a must-hear. 

“Wait a Minute Baby” backed with “Oh So Fine” showcases 

Watson’s signature guitar tone and expressive vocal style 

that helped shape modern blues and funk.

Released during the golden era of rhythm and blues, this record 

captures the transition between traditional blues and the emerging

 soul sound. Watson’s playing is sharp, rhythmic, and deeply emotional

qualities that later influenced artists across multiple genres.
