Blue Velocity is a record which aptly
showcases many sides of this brilliant
artist in the context of high energy
blues-rock with moments that bring to
mind legendary artists as diverse as
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and
Eric Johnson. Duarte has made the
kind of guitar-driven blues record that
fans have been waiting for.
Chris Duarte Group emerged on the scene out of Austin, Texas in the early 90's and gained notoriety after wowing a packed room of industry insiders at the South X Southwest convention. In the wake of Stevie Ray Vaughan's passing, Duarte quickly gained a national reputation as a young man imbued with a playing style comparable at times to the late guitarist.

Chris Duarte is one of the best guitar players out there, period!
And this CD showcases just how great he is, one mind blowing jam after another. Amy Lee is one of the best opening tracks that I have ever heard, by anybody, and it just keeps getting better, if that's possible.
For anybody who loves to hear the guitar played at its highest level this CD is a must have.
If I could give it 10 stars I would. |

| Chris Duarte has proven that he is a blues guitar talent, however I am not impressed with this record of his. There are some great cuts here, but overall it does not live up to the talent of Chris Duarte. I have to admit that I have never heard anything from Chris Duarte as good or even close to his great record "Tailspin Headwhack". I have to say sorry Chris, but Tailspin is a hard act to follow. |

| I love a good blues guitar player who can go in a few other directions with the same intensity. Duarte fills that bill. Regardless of your mood there is something on this CD to keep it company. From the funky blues of "Let her be" to the more rock oriented "Met My Match", Durate delivers! The solo work on "Something Wicked" is worth the price of the CD alone. |

While listening to this compilation and it's variations, I kept wondering who he sounds like. After a while I thought, Robin Trower. Then I thought Stevie Ray Vaughan....and finally I thought James Solberg. Wow, what a combination!!
Duarte was just in Abilene Texas the other night and I missed his show. After listening to this CD, I'm sorry I missed it.
This CD is a refreshing mix between blues and rock - but blues is its mainstay. I personally liked tracks after three the best, although the first three were indeed good. Especially the first track - Amy Lee.
You couldn't do much better trying to find an explosive blues compilation and I highly recommend the blues fan add this to his/her collection. |

| Got this CD on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. This guy is a great bluesy player, singer and songwriter. I liked all the songs first time through and they are getting better with repeat listenings. |
