Question:
Nope. He was walking near his home when he was picked up. His wife called the police because he had brought home a stranger and she was scared of him wanted him to leave. Roy got mad and took a walk (after ripping the phone out of the wall). And the window the shirt was tied to (that ‘reportedly Roy hung him self from) was low enough that Roy had to sit on the floor to hang himself. Friends that attended the funeral reported unexplained wounds on Roy’s head. Parker

GuitarPlayer Mag did a big story on him. They also mentioned the big multi-disk CD set of his that just cam out. Apparently it’s not cheap, but is targeted more towards real guitar virtuoso listening audiences. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – a friend recently played me a few danny gatton tracks and it was incredible. i’ve never really listened to him before believing him (wrongly!)to be more mainstream c+w than rock. but on closer listening he seems to be a cross between jeff beck and roy buchanan. can any one tell me a bit more. i know that he died a few years ago but i can’t seem to find his albums anywhere (UK). where can i get his music? he seems to be really rated by musicians.
Response:
The cover of the redneck jazz album shows the LP with the Magic dingus Box. Yeah, that was his mom…they had problems with some of the other labels as to the rights to some of the music, so for a while you couldn’t buy anything while it was tied up in court. Blaming the record labels or anyone else for Danny not making it commercially is stupid. Despite his virtuousity, Danny never marketed himself well and he would have been even harder to market to the masses. If it is necessary to blame someone for him blowing his head off, then there is no one to blame for his suicide except for himself. Sure, he had depression, but he also knew that and could have gotten help. Instead he left a little girl without a daddy.

It’d be very difficult to know your a truly great musician but not have anything financially to show for it.

Dan is more accurate than max here, although I’m sure somebody There are a number of bootlegs as well…one really good one is the full version of the New Years Eve show found on Redneck Jazz Explosion. What, Dec. 31 1978? That one’s on NRG (Nora R Gatton’s) label. If not, THERE’S MORE?????? Andy
Yeah, the 3 CD bootleg is called "Orphans" and is a soundboard recording of all sets from both nights (12/30 and 12/31/78). The original show was broadcast live on WHFS back when they were still a progressive radio station. I’ll have to dredge my copy up from a friend who has it now and see which songs are different from the explosion album

I saw Danny a few times at clubs in the DC area and once when he played the pub at william and Mary in 81. I met him, seemed nice enough, but never hung out with him. I guy I used to party with was a backup singer on the redneck jazz album and he said danny was nice, usually quiet, and moody. Now as for Roy, are you saying that the Fairfax county PD made him get drunk and drive and then strung him up? With your comment about the "official story" you are spewing nonsensical bullshit. In another post you talk about understanding some of danny’s depression…what about roy’s depression compounded by relapsing alcohol/drug addiction?

Sorry, that’s not my style. What I did imply is that the circumstances are unclear, and I explicitly said that there was "an official story" that you could believe or not. What could be wrong with saying that? There’s lots of commentary on the web about his death, mostly saying that there may be more to the story than just a simple "suicide". It appears that he used his t-shirt to hang himself, at a time when he was vulnerable (drunk, in jail, angry, depressed). These could have been the only factors, except: He was picked up drunk and probably belligerent, there are indications he fought with his wife. As a result, he may have been subdued, possibly too aggressively. We are told he managed to hang himself with a t-shirt, not easy even if sober. The official story is that it was a "suicide". One is free to believe that or not. I’m not making any charges here (I have no first-hand experience), I’m simply pointing out that it’s controversial.

Never looked into it, I never did see Roy around central Va., so I wasn’t following him other than on his records. OTOH, Danny was a regular in my town, and his death hit me pretty hard, it made me think about how I’d stopped following his live performances and records because I got distracted, and it made me think about how fine all of his music was.

All the CDs mentioned so far are excellent, but if anyone is looking for the single best one-CD introduction to Danny Gatton, pick up a copy of "Portraits." Released posthumously, it’s a mix of styles and sounds that covers Danny’s incredibly wide range about as well as one CD can, plus — best of all — it ends with three live cuts that absolutely killer and will give you the best sense of what Danny was all about in live gigs. The closer, his signature "Orange Blossom Medley," is absolutely jaw-dropping. I’m hoping that there is more in vaults like this that will be released some day. Believe me folks, "Portraits" is the one to get first if you’ve never heard Danny Gatton. On Big Mo Records.

I like this one a lot, too. I was recorded around the same time I saw that band in Boston, and it captures that powerful experience very well. It was mind-blowing (and ear-blowing as well – it was DAMN loud!)

Hey Dan! Those two guys do seem to meld into one! They say the memory is one of the first three things to go, but I can’t remember the other 2… Both tragic, tragic stories in the end.

Here is a quote from the site: "He’s been called the ‘World’s Greatest Unknown Guitarist’, but what famous guitarist could outplay him?" -Guitar Player magazine; Mar. ‘89 I have heard rumor he was a killer banjo player as well, though never saw/ heard it first hand. Anyone who has an albumn called "The Humbler" means business…
