Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Robillard, ex-Fab Thunderbird and founder of Roomful of Blues, hits a cool-rockin' groove on the opening, "Midnite Cannonball," and rides it with style, chops and hot horn riffs through the closing 11-minute jam on the late Albert Collins',"Dyin' Flu." A fine mix of originals and classics. --Jeff Bateman

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding tribute to the masters, and Duke's best!, April 10, 1999
By DrDanny "drdanny" (Sunnyvale, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I can't believe no one has reviewed this disc yet. Duke Robillard is one fantastic guitarist, and this album of covers is among his best recorded work. Every cut is a lesson in the blues, and a tribute to the original artist(s) associated with the tune. All I've got to say is, if you like the blues (jump-style, not Delta) just buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mercy!, December 27, 1999
The last cut, hats off to Albert Collins' "Dyin' Flu," will make you fall down and beg for mercy. This is what happens when a virtuoso blues guitarist doesn't have a thing to prove and slips into the groove. Playing that is listening, ear cocked like a hound dog's in the wind, Robillard hearing whatever it was Collins must have heard when the inspiration for this one came to him. (Definitely not the same thing as imitating licks or covering a tune.) Also a plus is that Duke doesn't burden you with overload in the vocals department but when he does open his mouth, it's so right it hurts. In general Duke sings a lil too much for my taste--he should let the guitar talk for him more of the time. The other great cut on this album is "Never Let You Go" where again Duke stays mainly in instrumental mode. This man is a treasure when he really opens up on the guitar--worth waiting for!

5.0 out of 5 stars duke-master of rock, blues and jazz, April 12, 2000
By "misjapudlo" (Eindhoven, NL) - See all my reviews
Duke Robillard is just one of the best guitarists in the world. This cd enlights his jumpbluesy T-Bone style of playing....it is jumping from the first number....If you like the blues they way they played it in de 50s, you have to buy this cd
