Duke Robillard's 1999 album, New Blues for Modern Man, displays the singer/guitarist's skill at integrating all styles of blues, rock, and soul into his own unique sound. This set of originals ranges from Gulf Coast blues to New Orleans party rock to Chicago shuffles to soulful ballads.

CMJ (5/10/99, p.32) - "...Duke Robillard not only shows off his stomping R&B guitar mastery but also his production skills....NEW BLUES FOR MODERN MAN comes closer to capturing Robillard's incredible live energy than any of his previous releases." Dirty Linen (12/99-1/00, p.88) - "...[MODERN MAN] rocks furiously....Robillard lays down a solid no-frills house-rocking groove, and sings the mostly original tunes in a smooth baritone growl....[the album] does a fine job of delivering the goods." Living Blues (7-8/99, pp.65-6) - "...Immaculate stuff from as reigning guitar master."
