"I started listening to Duarte a few years ago. SRV clone no more. First I didn't think it could get any better than Blue Velocity. Then Vantage Point came out. His song writing is getting stronger all the time.
But this collaboration with Bluestone Co. is incredible. Great interplay between Chris and Sumitomo ( known as the Warren Haynes of Japan). Guy plays a mean slide.
Chattahoochee Side, Give it back to me, Mad as I can be. Theres not a bad song on this album. Nothing to fast forward thru or skip. I'd love to see these guys live if they ever get to the Philly area."

"When I first saw the cover of 396 I didn't think it was gonna be as good as the previous CD's Chris Duarte released so if you like jazz rock and blues guitar as much as I do with a great band Blustone co Recommended ."

"Chris Duarte is one of the greatest guitarists not just now, but ever. In this set he teams up with a Japanese blues-rock band and the results are excellent. This album leans a little more towards rock than most C Duarte albums, but the blues shines through. Bet you thought there was no such thing as Japanese blues-rock. Enjoy !"
