Just saw Duke with Bonnie Raitt live last night. Duke's playing is so soulful and perfect fit with Bonnie. It was a great show, Bonnie was great of course, and Duke was just stellar!
I saw the Raitt show in Sept. in a great venue. I hadn't known about Duke going in. But coming out my head was reeling from the perfection of her band and his playing. It was a terrific show!
When I heard Tom say that he was excited to get Duke to fly in for a session I had never heard of him. Seeing him play here, I can see why anybody would be excited to have him play. I like your playing very much Mr. Levine! Good interview Zac! Thanks for introducing me to his music!
Discovered Duke in the last year or so and found this episode so refreshing. Thanks Zac! You manage to get a guitar player is gear fix as much as you chase down the origin and story of the player. Always great.
Mr Levine popped up on my Jeff Beck Pandora channel a couple’s of years ago. What a great player and now seeing him seems like a very humble guy. After watching this, it turns out Duke and I have a mutual friend from Austin. Great interview!
What a wonderful player. I love these sessions...plenty of time to develope themes and really go into things. Great stuff...and I can restring and polish my babies while I'm listening !
Good interview Zac! My dad taught me an old fiddle song when I was 5, and it required hybrid playing. So I just thought it was how you are supposed to play. And he taught everybody that. Starting with Eddie Cochran in 1954. Then my uncle Geno Burbank. I just figured everybody used a pick and fingers. Jerry Reed Georgia Sunshine was my favorite record, until I heard Luxury Liner in 1979. Mom had those records. I didn't know what a thumb pick was so I thought Jerry played like that too. And I was 9 years old in 79, and that Emmylou record was mind boggling. Its cool to know Duke dug that one too. That was actually released before the Rockpile, Dave Edmunds/Nick Lowe stuff. I can't imagine playing guitar without doing it without all the fingers on my right hand. It was an interesting question I've never heard anybody ask before.
I also saw him with Bonnie Raitt. Had heard him before and was so happy to see him again. One of the guitarists I admire so much. On my top 5 list. Just gets so much out of the instrument.

Some of the most soulful playing I've ever heard was by Duke!
Absolutely love this guys playing!
Just got home from a Bonnie Raitt concert in my hometown of North Charleston SC. Duke Levine was amazing (as was Bonnie lol)! Great show!!!

Love this interview. Nice wardrobe coordination, as well. 😁

⚓️ Thanks Duke 🌈 Zak 🎶
"Still working on it as we all do." Amen to that. It's a life long quest.
Duke's solo on The Story's 'So Much Mine' remains my high water mark for pop guitar playing. It's absolutely flawless. Thanks for the great interview!
Very welcome!

That faux-steel playing without getting all bendy is fantastic. Beautiful!
Right?!

Glad you enjoy it!
Duke seems to be a really nice, down to earth kind of guy.

Duke played in a local band called Crocket. They were great, he was 17.
Cool dude
Zak that chair is way too short. Your knees are above your hips. Back problems? Ergonomics!
