New ... posted just one hour ago

Oftentimes, Guitar Pilgrim calls Jimi Hendrix his favorite. I'd like to put in a pitch for the line

Ike Everly to Merle Travis to Chet Atkins to Lenny Breau to Tommy Emmanuel

Danny Gatton, heavily inspired by Lenny Breau, figures in there somewhere.

Though this video is five years old, it only came up in my Youtube suggestions today. A lot better late than never.

DANNY GATTON
"BLUES NEWBURG"

Fast, accurate, and played with feeling, as done in some passages here, is a rare combination; but then, Danny Gatton was a rare player. The tune, itself, is relatively slow. Contrast what you hear on this track with the franticness of "Fingers on Fire" on his "Unfinished Business" album.

Danny Gatton was one of my all-time favorite guitarists, matching talent with nimble fingers. For some more of his picking, search Mastodon on the dannygattor hashtag.

"THE SIMPSONS"

This is an unusual listening experience but you probably got that from the title. The track comes from Gatton's big album, "99 Elmira St." Some cuts on the record have too much band but it seems to me the production got it about right in this crazy case. Danny Gatton is easily one of my all-time favorite guitarists and it is great to hear him at his peak. For some more of his playing, search Mastodon on the dannygatton hashtag.

It is worth adding that Danny Gatton's idol was my fellow Maine native, Lenny Breau.

"IN MY ROOM"

"In MY Room" is from Danny Gatton's big album, "88 Elmira St." His performance on this track is faithful and pretty subdued: - not typical of his usually aggressive recordings. It gets a little wilder during the fade out. "A little wilder" and "fade out"? Don't expect to get overwhelmed. Still, it is very nice and well worth waiting for. Danny Gatton was not one to disappoint. For more of his picking, search Mastodon on the dannygatton hashtag.

Danny Gatton was highly deferential to Lenny Breau as THE TOP of the guitar world. "Slidin' Home" and many of his other tracks show that Danny Gatton was way the heck up there. Five Stars
