"You hear more about chuck and b.b. but any early rock&roll guiterist will tell you that scotty moore had to invent licks that no one had ever used before. In my books he was the first rock&roll guitar player. I've heard better guitarists but not on his early stuff until I heard Danny Gatton absolutely nail mystery train on this album. We all expect Delbert to use that razor blade and maple syrup voice to give us a new interpertation of E's work.The only way to cover a legend is to make it your own,(if you've got the pipes and the balls). But I don't think anyone expected Danny to remind us that this whole thing started because of the energy the Hillbilly cat& the blue moon boys brought to the game. I'm an old cat and I've found a brand new reason to believe that the music didn't die.Christopher Dorman"
