CARRYING ON THE TRADITON

"Duarte has taken the gauntlet Stevie Ray Vaughn threw down to impressive heights. However, the five star reviews are a little generous. His riffs and phrasing are most impressive, but his weakness is still as a lyricist. The cut "Let's have a Party" is really beneath his talents. Still, this is probably his most diverse set. "Woodpecker" is an excellent instrumental that does harken back to Jeff Beck. "Satisfy" is another excellent track. He's often been called a SRV clone. That's not a totally fair assessment. He's a killer modern blues rock guitarist who's overall songwriting still needs some lyrical improvement."
