Interview at the old 8 X 10 Club in Baltimore. Interesting that he never mentioned Roy Buchanan as an influence; likely due to their on-going feud. But one listen and you can tell who his primary influence was. Those he mentioned were doubtless both influential and worthy.
Buchanan played a longstanding gig at the Crossroads Lounge in Bladensburg, MD. Gatton is the only guy who could give Roy a run for his money on the Telecaster and their rivalry in the DC/Baltimore area is legendary.
