A Texas blues-rock prodigy who's always seemed comfortable with the Stevie Ray Vaughan comparisons he's invited since his 1994 breakthrough, <i>Texas Sugar/Strat Magik</i>, Chris Duarte has been particularly prolific recently, recording six albums in as many years. His latest, 2011's <I>Blues in the Afterburner</i>, recorded with his power trio, is a classic Duarte album, with long, 12-bar blues jams, impressive guitar wizardry and sizzling grooves from his rhythm section.
