Description
Daniel Wood Gatton, Jr. American guitarist, sometimes called "the world's greatest unknown guitarist".
Born : September 04, 1945 in Washington, D. C..
Died : October 04, 1994 in Newburg, Maryland.
This is Danny's debut studio album. It's rare in any condition but I don't know of any other sealed Red vinyl copies anywhere.
On October 4, 1994, Gatton locked himself in his garage in Newburg, Maryland and shot himself. He left behind no explanation. Members of his family and close friends believe Danny had silently suffered from depression for many years. Joe Bonamassa, who was a student and friend of Gatton, has stated that he knows the reason for the suicide but said "it's not something for the public".
When Rolling Stone magazine selected the 100 Greatest Guitarists of all Time in 2003, senior editor David Fricke ranked Gatton 63rd on his ballot. On May 26, 2010, Gibson.com ranked Gatton as the 27th best guitarist of all time.
