This is the second version of this CD I have owned I like it that much that I gave one away reluctantly to a pal in England. From the moment this album starts you know you are in for a ride, and what a ride it is. From the beauty of 'The Chess Players' to the sheer intensity of 'Gearheads' , this album just overwhelms the listener with an ever-changing palette of different sounds. Is it country? Is it Jazz, Is it Rockabilly?. This is the kind of music you can't put into a category....simple as that.
One reviewer likes Hank Garland...sure, but that is comparing apples to oranges..for a start, there is NO-ONE like Joey DeFrancesco around...and the sound that these two guys produce is totally unique....it's a pity Danny is no longer with us, another one of these collaborations would have surely been a milestone, if this isn't already.

WOW......the audacity of some of these reviewers! Danny Gatton: psychobilly, unpolished, technically limited, not a jazz player, in over his head....

What utter purist dribble.

Danny Gatton was simply one of the most phenomonal guitar virtuosos in recorded history. No single style or genre could contain such an enormous talent. His mixing and blending of many different styles, the nearly unlimited technique, the soulful ability to create deeply touching melodies spontaneously has not been equaled or approached.

This is a superb album that amply displays Danny's fabulous fiery Jazz interpretations.

Disregard the nonsense of those previous reviewers. You may not like Danny Gatton, which is your choice, but to speak derogatorily of this man's music and ability merely shows you to be an ignorant fool.

RIP Danny! Thank you for all the GREAT music!

5.0 out of 5 stars Whew!, May 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Relentless (Audio CD)

This album is simply scary. Gatton is on fire and DeFrancesco never gives in. They go toe to toe and duke it out with some masterful soloing. A must have for guitar and/or hammond B3 fans. Is it possible to give six stars?
