A bad CD by a great musician,
By IndyMATT "indymattf" (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Romp (Audio CD)
When it's all said and done, we'll look back on Romp as Chris Duarte's weakest effort. It seems all great artists have a time period where their music takes a dive. This is it for Chris. He spends more time trying to be who he is not instead of being who he is. His strength is straight-up blues with some rock dynamics thrown in. Unfortunately, this CD features very little blues. Bb blues is the only song worth listening to on this CD in my opinion. I love Chris and have seen him several times and I don't blame him for trying to stretch out and explore but here's the bottom line....he's world class at traditional blues/blues rock...unfortunately Romp focuses on the skills he is weak at...vocals and songwriting in shakey, undefined rock style. If you like the music on Texas Sugar Strat Magic and his second CD, you will be sorely dissappointed in Romp. CHRIS DUARTE...PLAY THE BLUES.

Austin guitarist Chris Duarte can't seem to escape the shadow of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Much like Stevie, Chris started young. By the age of fifteen, Chris was playing jazz and blues in Austin clubs. His first few albums solidified his hold on the title of "the next Stevie Ray". The thing is, Chris is worthy of your respect without labeling him the next anybody. Let somebody else be "the next Chris Duarte". "Romp" goes a long way towards showing folks that Chris isn't just another Texan with a guitar. In fact, most of "Romp" recalls Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter and Jeff Beck as much as or more than Stevie. Recommended cuts include "Do the Romp", "Fire's Gone Out" and "Bb Blues". Chris explodes on the uptempo numbers and is appropriately smoldering and sinister on the slow stuff. Really fine stuff for those of you who don't insist that he do the same thing over and over again. Check it out!

let me open by saying there is probably no bigger defender of chris duarte than me in the north east, having seen him many times with various lineups, and in various venues. now with that said let me also say i am a firm believer that the FIRST ALBUM (texas sugar, strat magik as the case may be here) of ANY band is always the best, both creatively, and preformance wise. i reluctantly stick by that belief upon listening to this cd. i did so want this album to come out of the jewel case smoking, having just seen them 2 months ago live with ed miles (monster drummer, just what the doctor ordered)and john jordan back in the fold. in my opinion 3 tunes work on this collection, "do the romp" savage, brutal power chords, interesting raw to the bone, "fire's gone out" a very up tempo tasty admission to a failed romance, and last but not least, "Bb blues" a very austinesque flavored shuffle, sure to set your toes a tappin'. the rest gets kinda lost, a bit too much self indulgence, a little too much "eric johnson, jimi", and go figure on "last night" ?!?!?!?!?! chris, you "kill" live, i say consider a live album or do one with chris being, well, CHRIS!
