Blues Guitar Duels is a pretty darn good compilation of excellent guitarist who have performed together on various recordings over the years. For example you get Buddy and Phil Guy perfog one of the tracks from their joint CD, \»DJ Play My Blues\», Hubert Sumlin perfog with Ronnie Earl on a cut from \»Hubert Sumlin\’s Blues Party\», Ronnie Earl and Duke Robillard on a track from the CD \»Test of \» and Guitar Shorty and Otis Grand from the CD \»My Way On The Highway\». One can certainly quibble over whether there are other tracks that could have been included on this disc or whether the tracks selected are the best from each duo but it would be a pointless debate. The facts are you get a very nice sampling of what these individuals have to offer.
