All songs written by Chris Duarte and John Jordan except "Letter To My Girlfriend" (E. Jones), "Just Kissed My Baby" (L. Nocentelli, A. Neville, G. Porter, Jr., J. Modeleste), "Big-Legged Woman" (L. Russell, C. Blackwell). Personnel: Chris Duarte (vocals, guitar); Brannen Temple (drums). Recording information: Bad Animals. Photographer: Kevin Knight. Guitarist Chris Duarte's Texas Sugar Strat Magik is an impressive debut album, showcasing his fiery, Stevie Ray Vaughan-derived blues-rock. As a songwriter, Duarte is still developing -- he fails to come up with any memorable songs, although he does contribute several competent, unexceptional genre pieces -- but as an instrumentalist, he's first-rate, spitting out solos with a blistering intensity or laying back with gentle, lyrical phrases. And that's what makes Texas Sugar Strat Magik a successful record -- it's simply a great guitar album, full of exceptional playing. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
