Click HERE to read an interview with Chris Duarte about this interesting new album.
In July, Chris Duarte flew out to Prairie Sun Studios in Cotaxi, California, to record the album "Blues In The Afterburner". It is available now (with the Japanese version containing one extra track). A first for this album is the use of studio musicians instead of the band. It is a great record showcasing Chris's intricate, aggressive, and wide-ranging styles. It has some really cool solos (including a backward one) and is a great companion to his previous release "Infinite Energy". Both have some far-out psychedelic undertones that go well with Chris's playing. You can buy the new album HERE along with Chris Duarte's other titles.
A new compilation from the Chris Duarte Group band archives! Serious fans of Chris Duarte will be stupified by stuff they've never heard, including outtakes from "Only One" and "Tailspin Headwhack", home demos, live cuts, radio appearances, and three new tracks of Chris sitting in with the band Mama (for more on this interesting musical collaboration, click here).

Don Odell's "LEGENDS" TV Show!
This 75-minute DVD features the Chris Duarte Group appearing on Don Odell's "Legends" TV show in Palmer, Massachusetts, September 7, 2010. The show was professionally shot with three hi-def cameras and a soundboard feed in front of a studio audience of 30 lucky fans. Art Tipaldi, editor of "Blues Revue" magazine, introduced the band. They played an energetic 70-minute set featuring two songs from the new album "Infinite Energy" plus several CDG classics. Interspersed between cuts are interview clips with Chris. It's a cool performance and also features Chris Duarte's 1963 Fender Stratocaster for the first half of the show! Chris also added a red knucklehead to his stack for that extra "crunch" in his tone. The dvd is the complete TV broadcast of the "Legends" episode and features "101", "Letter To My Girlfriend", "Big-Legged Woman", "The Best That I Can Do", "Scrawl", "Satisfy", "Sundown Blues", "Purple Gloaming", "One More Cup Of Coffee", "My Way Down", and "Let's Have A Party". It is beautifully photographed and the detail is amazing, some of the best footage of the band ever shot. Don Odell has graciously allowed me to make a limited run of this show available to help raise money for the Chris Duarte Group fan club.
