Post Description

Passport to the Blues album by Duke Robillard was released Aug 17, 2010 on the Stony Plain label. There has been no lack of Duke Robillard product on the market; the roots guitarist has recorded approximately ten albums since 2000. Passport to the Blues songs But he's been more of an interpreter than songwriter and there haven't been many original compositions on them. Passport to the Blues album That makes this 2010 disc a welcome appearance for fans of the guitarist aching to hear fresh tunes from the Roomful of Blues founder. Passport to the Blues CD music Perhaps touring as part of Tom Waits' band -- this disc's only cover is a roaring version of Waits' "Make It Rain" -- inspired him, but these songs combine a deep blues sensibility with a sharp band and a raw instrumental attack often lost when Robillard indulges his jazz and jump blues sides. Like Waits, he uses Howlin' Wolf as a model, especially with regard to his flinty vocals, and even titles one track "Rhode Island Red Rooster," an obvious homage to one of Wolf's most recognizable compositions. Robillard won't win any awards for his singing but he's clearly inspired here and gets by on sheer vocal enthusiasm as he spins out this rollicking collection with gruff joy.
