@reubent and @tomic601: Gatton is a guitarist’s guitarist, a guy other masters of the instrument listen to. But he’s not just a virtuoso, a "’flash" player; he’s also very musical. I first heard him when he was working with Robert Gordon, playing Rockabilly. When I recorded with Evan Johns (who had been in a coupla bands with Gatton in the D.C./Virginia area) in Atlanta (on his Moontan album), he told me Gatton was the best musician he ever made music with. The closest I’ve come to greatness. ;-) @boxer12: That Winchester debut album is great, produced by Robbie Robertson. I've been listening to it since it was first released, and it has stood the test of time. |
@bdp24 - I've heard of Danny Gatton for years, but don't know that I had ever heard him before. Luckily, I heard "Harlem Nocturne" by Danny and the Fat Boys while streaming Radio Paradise last week. Was literally flabbergasted by the tune and immediately purchased a copy of the album on Discogs. Really great stuff... Also, curious what you think of Robbie Robertson - S/T. I know you are a big fan (understatement) of The Band. Curious if you like the collaboration with Daniel Lanois and all of the guest artists on the album. Me? I Love it, but I'm a big fan of the Daniel Lanois sound. |
