Danny Gatton & Joey DeFrancesco


Just picked up their "Relentless." Where has this cd been all my life? Highly recommended.

Utterly fantastic stuff. The live Redneck Jazz Explosion CDs with Gatton and Buddy Emmons (on steel guitar) are also mind bending performances.

Rock solid time, crazy whole-tone and pedal steel licks totally honest guitar playing without relying on gimmicks.

True, but ironic. There was a time when Gatton was best known for his magic dingus box and looping tricks (that would sometimes confuse his own band). He basically shelved all that after he was accused of being too gimmicky (right after Redneck Jazz, IIRC) and generally played it straight thereafter.
