Hey, Terry, I guess you think you're pretty durn clever slipping some twang

It's the former; Gatton had himself a special effects box that, among other
things, allowed him to get a Leslie (read: jazz organ) sound on his guitar.
Redneck Jazz is available on CD; it's on the NRG label. Don't confuse it
with Redneck Jazz Explosion, also on NRG, which is a set of material
recorded at a show on New Year's Eve, 1978; personally, I like the latter
better, as it's got a hell of a lot of Buddy Emmons on it (the band was
Gatton, Emmons, Steve Wolf on bass and Scott Taylor on drums, no singing to
get in the way of the picking <g>).
