Guitar virtuoso Danny Gatton was known for the incredibly wide stylistic range of his playing; based in rockabilly, Gatton's musical vocabulary included R&B, pop, country, rock, and jazz, all of which he could play effectively. Gatton began playing at age nine, and in the mid 60?s he moved to Nashville to get into session work; there he met Roy Buchanan (also on my list), who briefly became his roommate and taught him more about his instrument of choice. Eventually, Gatton built a reputation as a top-notch guitarist around his native Washington, D.C. area through his club performances, outstanding albums and varied session work. Sadly, on October 4, 1994, Gatton locked himself in his garage and shot himself. He left behind no explanation. This is a great and rare soundboard show. Unfortunately there is some bad static on disc one tracks one and eight. With B.Edmonds. Thanks Jason |
