he's a walking encyclopedia... it's too bad he's too good at all that to have developed his "own" voice. but: DR be bitchin" and: (Waldo 2348) what's bad about t-bone?
This guy is a phenom, a living legend - its not a secret that T-Bone and Charlie Christian are among his influences. But those guys, while amazing, are gone. Thankfully though, we still have experts like Duke around to help keep jump blues alive and add his own special flavor to the mix.
I have been a die hard Duke fan for years. He is one of a kind. A superb musician My father is 88 and played in many bands. He gave up the sax when he was 84. I played bass, guitar and trumpet in many bands as well. I could never be as good as dad. He said that Duke has IT. Thank God for You Tube
Saw The Duke at the Misquamicut Blues Festival this July (2007). You can actually swim in the big Atlantic Beach Surf, Dance with your wife on the sand and eat those Rhode Island French Fries with that vinegar on them while listening to The Duke. It dosen't get much better than that. Come down next year. Eat some clam fritters, drink a vanella cabinet and get down with The Duke.
Has everyone seen the AWESOME video of Duke on Letterman with Tom Waits? Fucking sick. Duke has been my biggest musical influence in the world. Love you Dukie. What a GREAT number. A fucking blast. Lots and lots of great ass shaking.
terrible sound and feeling....for sure he's got IT..Just a question , is it a strat or a custom strat like guitar ???

At least the CC licks provide some relief from his endless T-Bone Walker licks.

@ciaobebbo050 , there's nothing suspicious about it at all. Charlie Christian is simply one of Duke's influences

In a world of tasteless, repetitive, would-be blues hacks, Duke is truly the real deal. From jump to rock, he nails it.
