Danny Gatton is a guitarist more “heard of” than heard. A guitarist’s guitarist, Gatton was known as “The Humbler,” a nickname bestowed upon him by another fine guitarist, Amos Garrett. The story goes that Garrett would play his band a tape that he had of a live recording of Gatton and whenever he felt like his band was getting too cocky, this humbled them and put them right back in their place. Gatton was a unique talent, as equally adept at rockabilly, country, blues and jazz.
Bassist John Previti, who played his first gig with Gatton on December 27, 1976, is featured throughout the recording.
