I'm just getting started, but if you like Gatton or the music scene around WDC in the 70s you'll like this.I'd be curious about an review of that one.
Cool.I'm just getting started, but if you like Gatton or the music scene around WDC in the 70s you'll like this.
The writing is nothing special, kind of like reading a collection newspaper articles, with a lot of interviews and quotes from musicians, family, and friends.
I've finished the Gatton biography "Unfinished Business - The Life & Times of Danny Gatton" by Ralph Heibutzki. I wrote earlier that it reads like a collection newspaper articles, with a lot of interviews and quotes from musicians, family, and friends. This is pretty much it, the author reports, but does not synthesize any of the interviews, nor does he attempt to reconcile any conflicting points of view, nor even any contradictions from the same interviewee. If you're hoping to find out why Danny Gatton committed suicide, this book is not for you. Or if you're a gear head, you won't get much in-depth descriptions of Danny's guitars and amps.Cool.
I don't have much time reading these days, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

On the other hand, if you're simply curious about who Danny Gatton is, or if you live in the DC area and want to read about some of the local clubs that Danny played in, give this book a try.
