Chris Duarte - Ain't Giving Up

15th studio album by Chris Duarte

Produced by Dennis Herring (Buddy Guy, Elvis Costello)

Provogue Records and the Mascot Label Group present the release of Texas Blues-roots guitarist Chris Duarte's 2023 album Ain't Giving Up.

Featuring a wide range of outlaw blues, Americana, roots and alt-country influences, Ain't Giving Up finds the Austin, Texas guitarist teaming up for the first time in 22 years with producer-guitarist Dennis Herring, also known for his work with artists Buddy Guy, Elvis Costello, Sister Sledge and others.

The resulting album isn't a calculated return to roots affair. Recorded live on the studio floor with vintage gear and minimal overdubs, it's a raw and revved-up showcase for the virtuoso's jaw-dropping chops: his mastery of the elusive Texas shuffle and his deep love and commitment to the blues. Ain't Giving Up is intimate and gritty, but it also boasts pristine fidelity, as if we the listener are in the studio with Duarte and his buddies.
