Daniel Wood Gatton Jr. (September 4, 1945 – October 4, 1994) was an American virtuoso guitarist who combined blues, rockabilly, jazz, and country to create a musical style he called "redneck jazz" a term which he took from fellow DC-born guitarist Evan Johns, who had composed a song by that name (and who later went on to fame with his band Evan Johns and the H-Bombs).
