Title: Reet Bobbydazzla... a little bit of Rockabilly
Post by: Johnny Robbo on August 20, 2017, 03:53:17 AM
I've had Danny Gatton's excellent 88 Elmira Street album on quite a lot recently & I think it's rubbed off a little.

All the usual suspects...

Cakewalk SI drums
No-name bass
Harley Benton Acoustic
2 tracks of slide on the tele (double tracked)
Main lead guitar: tele

Plus a little interlude in the middle where I do the Les Paul trick of speeding up the "tape".

As for the title, it's a Teesside thing - if something is worthy of approval, it's a "Reet Bobbydazzla!"



Thanks for listening :)

Criminy, you are excellent. Big Danny Gatton fan, and you do a great job here.

Was to catch him in a small club in Atlanta years back. Ever hear The Humbler?

Thanks fellas... as with all my tunes, I get about half way through & wonder if I've bitten off more than I can chew & this one was definitely one of those! Just googled "The Humbler", Blooby & seen the movie trailer. That is definitely on my "to watch" list. Thanks for the tip :)

Stunning! This is rockabilly at its best. I know you're an excellent guitar player, but bass line and drum programming is top class stuff as well!

Fantastic rock'n roll track!

Fantastic playing John! You have captured the Danny Gatton style to a tee and I am bedazzled with the whole song.
