Duke Robillard
“World Full of Blues”
This album includes Chicago blues, swing, funk, jump, soul and gospel. Along with original tunes, Robillard plays songs by blues legends like Memphis Slim (“Steppin’ Out”), Jimmy Reed (“Bright Lights, Big City”), T-Bone Walker (“Treat Me So Lowdown”) and Bo Diddley (“Who Do You Love”), along with Bob Dylan (“Everything Is Broken”), Tom Waits (”Low Side Of The Road”) and Eric Bibb (“Too Much Stuff”).
It has more blues harp than any previous Robillard recording along with great sax work and a tremendous horns section on some numbers. The organ and guitar on the final track is in the soul-jazz style made famous by Jimmy Smith.
If you are looking for an album that gives an overview of the blues, this is it!
