• A welcome return to Duke Robillard’s blues roots and early influences. Duke & his band deliver a collection of high energy uptown and low-down blues that he loved, and often learnt, when he was as young as 17 years old.

• The impression these tunes left on Duke was so strong that, years later, he still remembers the lyrics - and cutting them brought out his wildest guitar playing and singing yet - with the ‘direct to 2 inch tape’ recording adding a great feeling of urgency.

• Duke is joined by Bruce Bears (piano), Brad Hallen (acoustic bass), Mark Teixeira (drums), Matt McCabe (piano) and Sax Gordon (sax).

• “Duke Robillard’s latest rousing and rocking offering is a welcome return to, and affirmation of, Duke’s grittier blues roots and early influences. Being ‘low down and tore up’ never sounded better! - Dick Shurman (Blues Producer and Historian).
