(Special Ops) What The Hell Was That? � The Funk Anthology, a stunning new double-disc anthology from the multi-talented musician, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, will be available September 6th from Shout! Factory. As a collection of some of the most important recordings from Watson's dynamic and influential career, issued nearly 10 years after his death, The Funk Anthology includes the addition of six never-before-heard tracks.

Musical prodigy and obsessively prolific, Johnny "Guitar" Watson set the blues world afire early in his career with his blistering, searing guitar, but caught fans off guard when he took time out to dabble in jazz, and then outright stunned them when he turned to raw funk. His career played like a soundtrack to the evolution of American soul music, brilliant and more exciting with every turn it took. When he died in the midst of a worldwide comeback tour in 1996, Watson left behind nearly 40 years of considerable work, and a legacy that has endured to this day.
