There are precious few Danny Gatton recordings (and virtually none currently in print), and far fewer that do justice to his skill and creativity as a guitarist and bandleader. So kudos to Gress Records for presenting one of the best examples ever committed to plastic.
Relatively speaking, it's a straight-ahead jazz set, sent soaring at regular intervals when Gatton and his band Funhouse twist that patented throttle labeled "redneck jazz". And while avid fans might have been content with a Dictaphone tape of such a show, the fidelity and balance of the recording is also world class.
"Gatton demonstrates that if he had played jazz exclusively, he could easily have ranked alongside the all time greats - Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, and Wes Montgomery. But to the cognoscenti, that is already the case." --UK Jazz Journal
