Free Music Review: Dedicated to a Brother
Hit: 5 Stars

Volume II holds true that teamwork aside, Duane's briefest of fills totally complemented the action. Therefore, solve the puzzle for what Rick Hall overlooked when Duane recorded an original composition that sounds like it has tongue-in-cheek honesty: "Happily Married Man." His rhythm guitar sounds like it's waiting for something to develop, galloping joyfully alongside Berry, Paul Hornsby, and Johnny Sandlin--but when it's time for a starburst solo...there's nothing but the same chords. More fun abounded when Duane sat in with Aretha Franklin; King Curtis was back beside him. Lady Soul drowns her sorrow when she cries, "It Ain't Fair," and she could make a glassblower's lungs look weak. The real charm is David Hood's bass, which skips along beside Curtis's sax. Duane does play sidekick, but with deliberate slow-as-ketchup lines.

This CD reminds us that "You Reap What You Sow," and Otis Rush knows the Laws of Karma. Duane buzzes like a huge angry hornet, but Otis's Cobra Recordings shows that he could do 6-string surgery. Ronnie Hawkins and friends come to the rescue, as Carl Perkins's "Matchbox" sparks up everyone, Duane chirps and glides again, and the house was rockin'. Wilson Pickett was also nearby, "Born To Be Wild." There's no standout artist solo here (except for Pickett), which makes the song fit so well. Speaking of fast cars, Duane's Aladdin's Lamp wishes for a customized set of wheels in "No Money Down" must have been a salesman's nightmare, and Chuck Berry was the co-signer of this loan. More a novelty song (especially with Duane's vocals), his sincere singing makes you expect he found the object of his wishes.

The Hourglass reappear with "Been Gone Too Long," a tune that could have been taken elsewhere. Arthur Conley's "Stuff You Gotta Watch" follows, featuring Duane's insect-humming tone. With politeness to LuLu, you tried, dear, but you didn't light the pilot flame in the stove for that "Dirty Old Man." Duane's tingling lead sings on her shoulder, but she doesn't have enough heat to melt butter (Bonnie Bramlett hickory slow-smoked it on D&B's Accept No Substitute.) The first side ends with "Push Push," with Duane joining flautist Herbie Mann, future Stuff members Richard Tee and Cornell Dupree, a syncopated percussive motor run by Ralph McDonald and Bernard Purdie, and Chuck Rainey's bass. This jam really has fine moments; it's more of a subtle, sensuous, recreational ritual, letting the players use touch and tone to mold rich textures.

A Johnny Jenkins voodoo-enhanced performance calls for disciples to "Walk on Gilded Splinters." Duane quacks away on slide dobro, and a percolating rhythm section bubbles away with help from Butch Trucks, Jaimoe's timbales, Pete Carr's guitar, gospel-rich backup vocals, and Paul Hornsby's keyboards. Boz Scaggs also shows up, "Waiting for a Train," and Duane's dobro yodels as much as Boz. That twang came in handy when Ronnie Hawkins delivers the news: "Don't Tell Me Your Troubles," and Duane's resonator dances a lively jig.

Sam Samudio kept the groove belonging to John Lee Hooker's "Goin' Upstairs" while Duane cross-stitched slide, and reunited with Delaney & Bonnie for a live recording in New York, using an acoustic shuffle. All's fair in love and music at Ludlow Garage in 1970: "We don't do this song very much, but I feel like singin', so I guess that's what we're gonna do," taking the Brothers through a raucous romp on Hooker's "Dimples." Dickey's solo really rasps and files as well as Duane's, and his (Duane's) rough vocals really work here. Duane, aka the Dog, lent his chugging bottleneck to The Duck (Johnny Sandlin) and the Bear (Eddie Hinton). Eddie's lead guitar is overmatched by Duane, so `enjoy my company while there's time' may be the answer.

The final three songs bring Duane back with the Brothers, sawing away on "Done Somebody Wrong,' cutting a funky "Leave My Blues at Home," and "Midnight Rider" closes the Fillmore East as he and Dickey really play up each other's strengths. Duane did that for everyone, so eat that peach for peace-and his music!
