“Most everything Duke Robillard has done as a guitarist during the past four-plus decades…bears witness to his musical intelligence and his dedication to his craft.”
Downbeat
“A guitarist’s guitarist, prolific producer, and master of all things blues, Duke Robillard walks the tightrope between traditionalism and experimentation…He’s a master of many styles who moves forward while maintaining a firm grounding in the past.”
Blues Revue
“If the theory holds that a musician who’s having fun conveys that same giddy feeling to his listeners, then “Passport [To The Blues]” should be a certified joy-bringer. While the Duke is winking and mugging with his lyrics and vocal inflections, he and his band are cranking up some righteous sounds.”
Chicago Sun-Times
“Robillard is a force of nature, an ever-smiling, groove-heavy monster as nimble in the studio with Bob Dylan as he is on stage with Pinetop Perkins.”
