Duke Robillard has had a storied career, dating back to his early day in Rhode Island when he launched jump blues pioneers Roomful of Blues in late 60s.
Decades later he got the call to work with Bob Dylan a couple different times. Here’s Duke’s take on what went down, from Time Out Of Mind sessions to touring with Bob during the Never Ending Tour.
Fasten yer seatbelts, music fans!
Here’s a blurb from Rolling Stone:
Bob Dylan Parts Ways With Touring Guitarist Duke Robillard
ANDY GREENE
JULY 3, 2013
Duke Robillard seems to have parted ways with Bob Dylan, just three months after the blues guitarist joined his touring band. There has been no official announcement, but Robillard wasn’t onstage last night at AutoZone Park in Memphis, Tennessee. Charlie Sexton, the guitarist that Robillard replaced in Dylan’s band in April, was back with the group.
It’s unclear why Robillard is off the tour, but late last month he posted this cryptic message on Facebook: “For sale: Bob Dylan CD and record collection, slightly used.” He later wrote, “I will be selling a lot of guitars and amps soon. I’ll keep you posted.” His last show on the tour was June 30th in Nashville.
Charlie Sexton played with Bob Dylan from 1999 to 2002, and then again from 2009 to 2012. He plays on Dylan’s 2001 LP Love and Theft, the soundtrack to the 2003 film Masked and Anonymous and his 2012 album Tempest.
