Rhythmic variations include a sturdy blues shuffle, funk-blues, blues-rock, and a mambo as well, all backed by the Chain Gang Horns, which put in an epic performance on an Albert King style cover of the Smokey Robinson Motown classic &#8220;I&#8217;ll Be Doggone&#8221;. This recording captures a show by a guitarist and a tight band at the height of their powers, shortly after completing the legendary &#8220;Street&#8221; trilogy with the release of &#8220;Ghost Kings of Beale St.&#8221;, and the set includes tracks from that record as well as from the other two CDs, &#8220;Lake St. Lullaby&#8221;, and &#8220;Bourbon St. Breakdown&#8221;, comprising a live tour through blues styles made famous in the three great cities of the blues &#8212; Chicago, New Orleans, and Memphis. This is a record with inventive, improvisational guitar licks and creative jamming that bear repeated listening, and will be a favorite of guitar fans for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Release Date:  March 26, 2010<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Steve &#8220;MrBiG&#8221; Pasek<\/p>\n<p>Eleven hyper-charged tracks recorded live during the Chicago Blues Tour in 2007, &#8220;the Real Guitar Hero&#8221; makes a strong case for Chainsaw Dupont&#8217;s talent.
