Archive material and source history
Danny Gatton was a guitarist from Washington, D.C. who started playing early, influenced by his father and by players like Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Jimi Hendrix. He put out his first album, 'Redneck Jazz Explosion,' in 1978, which mixed country, blues, and rock.
