Blues-roots guitarist Chris Duarte announces Ain't Giving Up, his 15th studio album, via Provogue Records

Featuring a wide range of outlaw blues, Americana, roots, and even alt- country infuences, Ain't Giving Up fnds the Austin, Texas guitarist teaming up for the frst time in 22 years with producer-guitarist Dennis Herring, also known for his work with artists like Buddy Guy, Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello, and the Hives. But the
resulting album isn't a calculated return to roots affair. Recorded live on the studio foor 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 shufe; and his deep love and commitment to the blues.

Ain't Giving Up is intimate and gritty, but it also boasts pristine fdelity, as if we the listener are in the studio with Duarte and his buddies.
