A review of the live album Danny Gatton and Funhouse – Live at the Holiday Inn 1987 on Gress Records, featuring John Previti on bass alongside Gatton and drummer Barry Hart.
“Danny Gatton is a guitarist more ‘heard of’ than heard. A guitarist’s guitarist, Gatton was known as ‘The Humbler,’ a nickname bestowed upon him by another fine guitarist, Amos Garrett.”
The album captures Gatton’s remarkable versatility at a live performance in Arlington, Virginia, with Previti providing the rock-solid bass foundation.
