Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Blue Velocity is a record which aptly
showcases many sides of this brilliant
artist in the context of high energy
blues-rock with moments that bring to
mind legendary artists as diverse as
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and
Eric Johnson. Duarte has made the
kind of guitar-driven blues record that
fans have been waiting for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Guitar Lovers Dream Come True, August 13, 2007
By Patrick Earley (Edmond, Oklahoma USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You can count me in that category of music lovers who live for that next great guitar solo. And Duarte sounds like his main mission here was to please fans like me. Simply outstanding guitar work throughout. And this cd comes closer to his live show performances than anything he has ever done in studio. You can kick back and really get into this cd. Over half the songs here clock in at more than 6 minutes. With a couple reaching double digits. The 13 minute "Something Wicked" is a slow blues burner that is simply outstanding throughout. And it's followed up with "I'll Never Know", which is one of the best songs that Duarte has ever written. And his singing is also very impressive here. I noticed he's changed labels to the more guitar oriented label Blues Bureau. And I hope he sticks with it, because it sounds like he's headed in a good direction with his music. He's playing to his strengths where the guitar comes first.. And almost nobody out there in the blues rock category is more original at it than Duarte. A thouroughly enjoyable album. And the best that I've heard so far in 07.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best studio album he's ever done imho., September 14, 2007
I've seen a couple of his shows and really, the studio albums to date, just do not do justice to this amazing musician.

This one comes very very close!

Of course that's only part of the story here. As to the sound of the CD? Nice! Not overly compressed at all. The guitar is right out front where it should be and blend of vocals, drums and bass fit very nice into the overall sound. Very dynamic. A rarity these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Duarte's Inferno!!, September 2, 2007
By Tuneman (central Ohio, US of A) - See all my reviews
Without question, this is Chris' finest release. On board with the Blues Bureau label, he has finally been supported in the way he deserves! One of the hardest working showmen in the music scene today, he really rips it up on this one. This is the cd I have been waiting for since "Texas Sugar/Strat Magik"! He unleashes some incendiary fretwork: check out 'Sun Prairie Blues', in which he breaks open the old Univibe for some spot-on Robin Trower/Hendrixian sounds. Just amazing. If you are a fan of blues and blues rock, you MUST get this cd. You will not be disappointed. Everytime I listen to it, I hear things I missed the last time. I'll put this one up against ANY blues artist this year!
