Duke Robillard and Ronnie Earl are among the hottest blues guitar players, but their first studio collaboration is not a showdown. Although Robillard is skilled in all aspects of technique and Earl is a pure "soul" player, their styles overlap in the Texas and Chicago schools, granting both giants ample space for elegant and biting single-note solos, daredevil string-bending, and chugging rhythms. Robillard sings two numbers, and "Mighty" Sam McClain, whose red-clay voice is the perfect counterpart to their emotional fretwork, appears as a guest on Earl's heartbroken epic "A Soul That's Been Abused." However, the real magic lies in the instrumentals, where these virtuosos who rose to worldwide acclaim from the New England scene maintain a beatific dialogue. They both swing like T-Bone Walker on "Two Bones and a Pick" and trade sliding chords and slide guitar licks on "Zeb's Thing," which delves into down-home Mississippi grit. The highlight is "My Tears," on which Robillard sings with a melancholy and gritty tone, Earl turns sustained notes into Zen koans, and both players stretch their flair for dynamics and brilliant, unhurried, lyrical playing to its limit. Fans of blues guitar need to hear this album.
