@crozzara ; the only guitarist that can "one up" Danny Gatton is "Danny Gatton" check out same cut but at the Roxy one year earlier==1988. At a loss to describe, the indescribable.
Gatton is one of those guitarists, that in 50 years, will be truly rediscovered and finally appreciated for the talent he was. How many has that happened already? But thats Rock n Roll aint it?
@existentialcwby Miles Davies once asked Les Paul how he could become more popular - Les told him to record Blueberry Hill - or some such number. Miles declined. Danny did play popular numbers but, alas, with hacks (although I heard a number with Eva Cassidy.which was great) I think there is such a thing as a musician's musician and perhaps - more specifically - a guitarist's guitarist. .It could be that the ears of the hoi poloi are made out of tin.
@zthetha seriously, its disgraceful to his talent for him to play with such terrible singers. however, he is such an amazing guitarist (the best), id rather just him play instrumental than with a singer...i think he played with singers in an attempt to become more mainstream, but if the hoi polloi had any sense, they'd have caught on to him a long time ago.
