ajs510 122 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Did ANYBODY read the title of this thread? Seriously?"Unknown" suggests muscians that are well known in certain circles, but unknown to the general radio-listening public. Link to post Share on other sites
RuffRidr 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Danny GattonThis guy is probably the best guitarist you've never heard of. He absolutely rips it up, great flair for melody and an exceptional technician. He was once voted "Best Unknown" by Guitar Magazine. He has a couple of albums out, of which 88 Elmira Street is an absolute gem. A variety of styles, a couple of cool covers and an unbelievable display of guitar wizardry. He, unfortunately, commited suicide in 1994, but not before I saw him at a free show during the Montreal Jazz Fest the year before he died.If you love amazing R+B and blues guitar, go get 88 Elmira Street. You won't regret it.Konichiwa, bitches.Hells yeah, he's good. Smokin' good. If you like him I think you will also like Joe Bonamassa, Sonny Landreth, and Chris Duarte. All good, relatively unknown musicians.Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto!--RuffRidr Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'd do it for like $50, plus transportation and 3 beers. Link to post Share on other sites
