A biography of "one of the music world's greatest and most outrageously under appreciated talents, " ("Mojo") this volume furthers Gatton's cult status that continues to grow with CD re-releases and ongoing press coverage. 40 photos.
Danny Gatton was a players' guitar player, hailed by both Rolling Stone and Guitar Player as the greatest unknown guitarist anywhere. His legend has only grown since his untimely suicide in 1994, along with appreciation for his blinding speed, effortless genre-hopping, flawless technique, and never-ending appetite for tinkering and problem-solving. Drawing from first-hand interviews with dozens of friends, family members and fellow musicians, Unfinished Business places Gatton's musical contributions into context, and documents his influence on those peers who admired him most, including Albert Lee, Vince Gill, Arlen Roth and Lou Reed. "Danny Gatton comes closer than anyone else to being the best guitar player that ever lived." - Steve Vai
