Daniel Wood Gatton Jr. (September 4, 1945 – October 4, 1994) was an American guitarist who combined blues, rockabilly, jazz, and country to create a musical style he called 'redneck jazz'.^[1]

Career[edit]

Daniel Wood Gatton Jr. was born in Washington, D.C., in 1945. The son of a rhythm guitarist, Gatton started playing at the age of nine. From 1960–1964 he played jazz guitar with the Offbeats, then worked as a session musician in Nashville.^[2]^[3] When he returned to Washington, he drew attention in the 1970s as a member of Liz Meyer & Friends and other local bands. He recorded his debut album, American Music (1975), followed by Redneck Jazz (1978) with pedal steel guitarist Buddy Emmons appearing as a guest. He founded the band the Redneck Explosion.^[2]

Although Gatton could play most genres of music, including jazz, blues, bluegrass, and rock, he was known as a country and rockabilly guitarist.^[2] He toured with singers Roger Miller and Robert Gordon.^[3] He was sometimes called 'The Telemaster' and 'the world's greatest unknown guitarist'.^[2] Guitarist Amos Garrett called him 'The Humbler' for his ability to defeat other guitarists in 'head-cutting' jam sessions.^[4] On this point, however, Gatton declared “The biggest humbler to me, of all time, would be Lenny Breau. He was the best I have ever seen.'^[5]

In 1987, nine years after his previous album, he released Unfinished Business, an eclectic collection of pop, rock, and country music that Guitar World magazine named the tenth best album of the 1980s.^[6] He got a contract with his first major record label and released another eclectic album, 88 Elmira Street (Elektra, 1991),^[3] which contained a cover version of the theme song from the animated TV series The Simpsons.^[7]

Gatton turned toward jazz for the albums New York Stories (Blue Note, 1992) and Relentless (1994) with Joey DeFrancesco.

On October 4, 1994, Gatton locked himself in the garage on his farm in Newburg, Maryland, and took his own life by shooting himself.^[8] Although he left no note or explanation,^[9] family members and close friends believe he suffered from depression for many years.^[10] Friend and drummer Dave Elliott said that he thought Gatton had suffered from depression since they met more than twenty years earlier.^[8]

Gear and playing style[edit]

Gatton played a 1953 Fender Telecaster customized with Joe Barden pickups and Fender Super 250Ls, or Nickel Plated Steel (.010 to .046 with a .015 for the G) strings (Fender now makes a replica of his heavily customized instrument), and a 1956 Gibson ES-350. For a slide, Gatton sometimes used a beer bottle or mug. In the March 1989 issue of Guitar Player magazine, Gatton said he preferred to use an Alka-Seltzer bottle or long 6L6 vacuum tube as a slide, but that audiences seemed to prefer the beer bottle. Unlike many electric guitarists, Gatton played slide overhand only, citing his earlier training in steel guitar [Guitar Player, March 1989]. Among amplifiers, liner notes on his album '88 Elmira Street' cites his use of Fender amplifiers including a 1963 Vibrolux, a 1963 Super Reverb, a 1958 Twin, a 1964 Deluxe, and a 1958 Bassman.^[11] Gatton built many of his own electric musical devices, including one he called the Magic Dingus Box, which controlled the speed of the rotating horn in a Leslie speaker cabinet.^[12]

You know, he called himself a Whitman sampler of music.'^[10] Guitarist Steve Vai reckons Danny 'comes closer than anyone else to being the best guitar player that ever lived.'^[16] Guitarist Albert Lee said of Gatton, 'Here's a guy who's got it all.'^[17]
