October
2007 : it's been 13 years since Danny Gatton
passed away. In many respects, I think that he was perhaps the most
brilliant guitar player ever. Rockabilly, Country, Blues, Soul, Jazz and just
plain Rock : he could mix'em all and blow your mind instantly. Impeccable
technique, stunning improvisational skills and a tasteful feeling for the
music were his trademark. With the help of people who worked with him, I'll
try to paint a picture of Danny which, hopefully, will do him justice - and
a discography will be included.
