Ronnie Earl & The Duke Excel!
Ronnie Earl is one of the great blues guitar players in the world as is Duke Robillard. For those of you who truly appreciate those East Coast Blues this is a must have album. This album is very good and shows off their distinct styles. The CD starts off great with West Side Shuffle then picks up steam with Two Bones & A Pick then Magic Sam's What Have I Done Wrong. This CD has everything you want in a blues album; two masters and a great list of songs. Give it a listen and you won't be disappointed. .
Money Well Spent, Destined to be a Classic !!!
Wow, what a great album! Ronnie Earl is a great Blues Guitarist and add a Singer / Harp player like Kim Wilson to the mix and you get a phenominal album!
Just play Double Trouble, Blues for J, and Abandoned; sit back and enjoy. . . It will give you chills listening to the man pouring his heart out in these songs playing his inspired best.
If you like the blues, just pick it up - you won't be disappointed.
after all is said and done
When others lose track in their quest for variety and success, Earl keeps it fresh by learning more blues, and deepening his approach. When looked back on, the world will realize that they've overlooked the most soulful blues player in their midst. Now that there's a large Ronnie Earl catalog to refer to, it can be safely said that he is most consistent blues player of his generation. .
Mr. Earl Strike again!,
This is a fact. Ronnie Earl is one of the best blues guitarists alive. With his new realise I believe he has gained a place in the short list of the greatest of all time. After many all-instrumental albums, on this one half of the tunes feature a singer. With the help of his all time friends Kim Wilson and Greg Piccolo, sharing vocals duty, and the former Broadcaster bass player Rod Carey, Ronnie delivers a very strong album that should definitively place him at the very top of the list of the greatest blues artists of our time. This is a straight blues album with just few concessions to other styles. His playing has never been so sharp and focused, so clean and crispy, he makes every single note counts and his playing throughout the album is just unbelievable. His version of the Otis Rush? classic Double Trouble worth by itself the price of admission. It is however the whole album that stands out from the crowd, not a bad tune to be found, no a weakness to be spotted. On the CD?s notes Mr. Earl thanks and blesses lots of friends, I would just like to thank him with all my heart for all the fantastic sensations and the unbelievable feelings I always experience listening to his music. Thanks Ronnie, please carry on!

Sexy, Romantic and Stirring!!!!
Earl for returning to our long awaiting hearts, mind and souls!!! It has been WAY TOO LONG, please don't wait so long next time! How can you describe a guitar virtuoso, it's simply not possible. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You Mr. . . . so I'm telling you and everybody I know. . . JUST BUY THIS ONE NOW!!!!! Destined to be a top notch classic. Sexy, romantic and stirring, starting with Feel Like Goin On with soulful Greg Piccolo singing this one with his entire being!
Kim Wilson who is always incredible singing and on harmonica, joins Ronnie on most of the CD providing total compliment, "Abandoned" is as gutt wrenching as you're gonna hear anywhwere! This is a great blues CD, but let's not classify just in the blues genre, it's ROCKIN', sassy and jazzy, even Hallelujah Gospel. . . . because Ronnie knows no Bounds! So glad to finally add another of your CD's to my collection! And bring back reissues of "Test of Time" PLEASE!!.
