After years of infusing his wah-wah guitar licks on countless sessions, Melvin "Wah Wah Watson" Ragin cut a deal with Columbia Records for this unsuccessful solo album that did so poorly Watson didn't have another solo release for 24 years. Columbia pushed this as fusion-jazz; well, some of it is, but it's really just good "head music.
The wah-wah pedal’s unique tone and impact would be epitomized on classic rock radio staples, such as Cream’s, Tales of Brave Ulysses, and Hendrix’s somehow even more mythical, Voodoo Child (Slight Return). However, providing the secret sauce to a number of iconic black artists outside of rock n’ roll, another guitarist, Melvin Ragin, better known as Wah Wah Watson, would encapsulate and innovate with the wah-wah sound over the course of a dynamic forty-year career
