Our Take

Straight out of the vaults comes DUCK BAKER's latest release, "Les Blues Du Richmond: Demos And Outtakes 1973-1979." This collection of demos and outtakes gives fans a rare glimpse into the early days of Baker's career, before he became the legendary figure we know today.

From the outset, it's clear that these tracks are raw and unpolished, but that's part of their charm. Baker's virtuoso guitar playing shines through, even in these early recordings, showcasing his incredible talent and skill. The bluesy undertones that run throughout the album add a touch of nostalgia, taking listeners on a journey back in time to the bustling music scene of Richmond in the '70s.

Tracks like "Mississippi Blues" and "Richmond Blues" transport the listener to smoky bars and dimly lit clubs, where Baker's music would have taken center stage. The stripped-back production allows Baker's guitar work to take center stage, with each note ringing out clear and true.

While some may argue that these demos and outtakes lack the polish of Baker's later work, there's a rawness and authenticity to them that can't be denied. Fans of Baker's music will appreciate the opportunity to hear these early recordings and gain insight into his artistic evolution.

Overall, "Les Blues Du Richmond: Demos And Outtakes 1973-1979" is a must-listen for any DUCK BAKER fan or aficionado of blues music. It's a rare gem that offers a unique glimpse into the early days of one of the genre's most talented musicians. Highly recommended.
