Temptation
by Thom OwensIt may not offer anything new, but Temptation is a solid album from Duke Robillard. Supported by drummer Jeffery McAllister and bassist Marty Ballou, he runs through a set of nine originals and two covers, playing with typical taste and class. Robillard's blues doesn't really burn with intensity; rather, it simmers with style. That means this Temptation is slyly seductive, and while there are a few missteps along the way, it's still a successful seduction.
