Saw Gatton and NRBQ play at Hunter College in NYC. He was incredible player with chops to spare. The album with Robert Gordon, the Humbler is awesome. It was a shame he could never find a niche. I have always felt it was weird that Gatton and Roy Buchanan were both products of the DC club scene, played a tele, and were tipped for greatness. Neither ever had a great band or material to put them over to a wide audience. Both took their own life.
