Gamma Gamma 3

2013, Based in San Francisco and managed by renowned impresario Bill Graham, the band was focussed around Ronnie's fiery guitar work and the power of Scottish born vocalist Davey Pattison, a man recommended by none other than Robin Trower band member and fellow Scot Jimmy Dewer. Having cut two albums, both of which were universally acclaimed, Ronnie turned his attention to the band's third album. But, in a characteristically chameleon-like move, Ronnie made significant changes to the band's line-up and its musical style. Retaining bassist Glen Letsch and drummer Denny Carmassi, he recruited keyboard player Mitchell Froom, a man noted for his penchant for experimental composition. Eschewing the hard rock attack of GAMMA 2, Ronnie now imbibed progressive and electronic influences. He also refused to write with Pattison preferring instead to collaborate with Froom alone. The results, were somewhat controversial but entirely necessary, displaying another part of Ronnie's significant musical scope.
