Whatever progressions the Chris Duarte Group make on their 2010 release Infinite Energy are a matter of depth, not breadth. The group doesn’t try anything new - Duarte still specializes in a distinctly Texas brand of the blues, one that has Stevie Ray Vaughan as ground zero, where even the Hendrix-isms are filtered through SRV - but they do manage to lock into a soulful groove on “My Heart Don’t Want to Let You Go” and creates a noir-streaked moodiness on the instrumental “Hamra St” quite unlike anything he’s done before. Elsewhere, the sound remains the same and if the production is way too clean for Duarte’s increasingly rough, wobbly vocals, his guitar sounds hot and full, speaking with a warmth he can not manage, nor needs to create, as a singer.

In Chris Duarte sehen viele Blues-Fans den würdigen Nachfolger für die verstorbene Blues-Legende Stevie Ray Vaughan. Das Debütalbum der Chris Duarte Group "Texas Sugar-Strat Magic" verkaufte sich Mitte der 90er über 100.000! Auf seinem neuesten Werk "Infinite Energy" beweist Duarte erneut, dass er zwar im Blues beheimatet ist, aber keine Berührungsängste mit anderen Genres wie zum Beispiel Jazz hat.

“Infinite Energy” is the full package from the Chris Duarte we know and love. Music that is a mixture of Lone Star riffs and Hendrix/Vaughan single note attacks that send the dials into the red zone. Only sometimes you get the impression Chris wants to step beyond those parameters. Of course tracks like “City Life Blues” grow on you with its tasteful jamming. But it’s not all bombast threatening to split your skull. Though it flexes a Vaughan muscle, “Cross My Heart” shows a degree of musical restraint that is still maintained in the mid-tempoed rocker of “Waiting On You” that rides on cruise control. You’ll only think somethings wrong with Chris if he doesn’t acknowledge Hendrix. Opening track “Ridin” comes with chording a la Axis Bold As Love. And “Voodoo Chile” hoodoo is unearthed in “Sundown Blues” which sounds like an outtake from Electric Ladyland. And you really appreciate Duarte when he aspires to be John McLaughlin meeting Eric Johnson on the space blues- jazz of “Cold Cold Day.” Believe it or not, the sound seems to soften a few notches in “My Heart Don’t Want To Let You Go” until Duarte turns up the heat with impassioned soloing lifted from the Stevie Ray tablatures. Then it’s back to the Hendrix cocoon with the menacing brew of “Killin Time” and the beautiful psychedelic wave in “Hamra St.” By the time you get to the track “Purple Gloaming,” the steam subsides until “Me All Me” clobbers you with a Hendrix mallet. Despite Chris dipping into his standard bag of tricks, you feel he is on the cusp of wanting to take his music to the next stage. He might be closer to his goal then we all realize.
