When some of Chris Duarte's admirers exalted him as "the new Stevie Ray Vaughan" back in the '90s, it was unfair to Duarte as well as to Vaughan's memory. Vaughan was irreplaceable, and expecting Duarte to somehow fill the void that Vaughan left when he died in 1990 is unrealistic. That said, Duarte has made some exciting contributions to blues-rock - specifically, blues-rock of the Texas variety, and that Lone Star spirit is alive and well on Blues in the Afterburner. Texas, of course, has been a leader in different areas of the blues. Lightnin' Hopkins, Texas Alexander, and Blind Lemon Jefferson are among the icons of pre-rock Texas blues, while the recordings of Vaughan and Johnny Winter are the essence of loud-and-proud Texas blues-rock. Texas has a proud history when it comes to the blues, so why shouldn't Duarte wear his Lone Star heritage like a badge of honor? And that is exactly what he does on this 2011 release. The San Antonio native/Austin resident is as Texas-sounding on "Hold Back the Tears," "Make Me Feel So Right," and "Searching for You" as he is on "I've Been a Fool" and "Black Clouds Rolling," which is not to say that all of his influences are from Texas. Duarte maintains some Jimi Hendrix influence (Hendrix was from Seattle, not Texas) along with his fondness for Vaughan and Winter, but then, Hendrix was also a major influence on Vaughan. And true to form, Duarte is as expressive with his vocals as he is with his electric guitar playing. Blues in the Afterburner is another memorable, inspired album from Duarte.

Alex Henderson - All Music Guide



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 young man imbued with a playing style comparable at times to the late guitarist. After fielding interest from a number of labels, Duarte signed to Silvertone Records and his debut album “Texas Sugar / Strat Magik” reportedly sold in excess of 100, 000 units in the United States, no small feet for a blues / rock guitarist. This coupled with Duarte’s strong commitment to touring, was the impetus for Chris’ winning the “Best New Talent” in Guitar Player’s 1995 Reader’s Poll. He also finished fourth in the magazine’s “Best Blues Guitarist” category that year behind legends Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and B. B. King. Throughout the last decade, Duarte honed his chops as a guitarist, songwriter and singer as he recorded three more critically acclaimed records, “Tailspin Headwhack” in 1997, “Love Is Greater Than Me” in 2000 and “Romp” 2003, the latter two of which were on the Zoe / Rounder label. Not one to rest on his laurels, Duarte has constantly worked on his growth as a musician and the years of recording culminated purposefully in this decade’s “Blue Velocity”, “Vantage Point” and “396” with Bluestone Company, all records 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, Robin Trower, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Johnson. Chris’ recordings have always been rooted firmly in the blues with a rock and roll edge which further established Duarte as one of the rare musical talents of his generation. “Blues In The Afterburner” continues in the tradition of smokin’ blues with doses of heavy psychedelia throughout. Blues In The Afterburner contains a heavy dose of Duarte’s legendary blues guitar chops over a diverse set of grooves and lyrical themes.

Die Chris Duarte Group aus Austin, Texas ist seit den frühen 90er Jahren aktiv. Durch seinen Stil wurde Duarte nach dem Tod von Gitarristen-Legende Stevie Ray Vaughan schnell als junger Nachfolger gehandelt. "Blues In The Afterburner" beinhaltet traditionellen Blues mit einem Schuss Psychedelia.

Natürlich zeigt er auch auf seinem neuesten Werk sein ganzes Können und brilliert auf den 12 neuen Stücken mit seinem legendären Gitarrenspiel. Der Gewinner des 'Best New Talent Award' 1995 verkaufte alleine in den USA über 100.000 Einheiten seines Debüts "Texas Sugar / Strat Magik". In den folgenden Jahren veröffentlichte die Chris Duarte Band sieben weitere Alben und tourte unermüdlich über den Globus.

Seine Aufnahmen sind im Blues verwurzelt, werden aber immer mit einer gehörigen Portion Rock'n'Roll veredelt, welches Duarte zusätzlich einen Namen in der Szene macht.
