Danny Gatton & Joey DeFrancesco

Gatton fan here...check out the Youtube video of him playing slide with a full beer bottle then continuing to wail with the towel over the neck...he was a national treasure.

Wolf, also check out (youtube) Danny Gatton at Gallagher's.

Danny Gatton is in my all-time top-3...amazing player!

Yes Iso that video at Gallagher's is pure brilliance.
Danny takes 50 choruses on a blues, never repeats the same idea..... and he showcases everything that makes him great.
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.
