They Called It Rhythm And Blues

Description

70 years have passed and Duke Robillard is still here delivering his Blues just like he did at the beginning in 1967: over 50 years of career and several Grammy Award nominations (2007 and 2010). He is also a five-time consecutive winner of the "Blues Music Awards" for Best Guitarist. The leader of Roomful of Blues, after 50 years dedicated to the blues, returns to the forefront with a brand new album that brings together all of his musical influences. Here and there, you can hear the ghosts of Louis Jordan, Chuck Berry, and the entire blues gallery, culminating in the instrumental track that closes this album with distinctly Californian accents. Duke Robillard has spent his life working with the greatest, including Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Ruth Brown, Pinetop Perkins, as well as the Fabulous Thunderbirds, where he shared guitar duties with Texan Jimmie Vaughan. Since the start of his career in 1967, he has released no fewer than 50 albums, showcasing his vocal style and instrumental prowess. Born in Rhode Island in 1948, he remains a veteran of the blues in all its forms, and in 13 tracks, this album is a true and very complete catalog of his mastered art.
