You can treat me dirty
You can treat me cruel
It doesn't really matter
I was still your loving fool
Cause baby, oh baby, you really
didn't know what you were doing
I know you didn't mean to hurt me, baby
I'm only sorry to see
ever good loving ruin
Time heals all the wounds
That's what the people say
But for all your wrong doings
Someday you'll have to pay
Cause baby, oh baby
I know you work in a field
But still after all we've been through
You still stand a queue from a soul
that's been abused
I'll forgive you, baby
I'll forgive you but not forget
Sometimes I get angry at myself
I wish we had never met
You didn't understand
Then let me feel like a man
So sorry we both must lose
That's why you found me somewhere
in this world singing this blues
You can treat me dirty
You can treat me cruel
It doesn't really matter
I was still your loving fool
Cause baby, oh baby, you really
didn't know what you were doing
I know you didn't mean to hurt me, baby
I'm only sorry to see
ever good loving ruin
Said I'm sorry, oh Lord, said I'm sorry
It's a sad day, when through lovings
It's a sad day, when hatred wins
Said I'm sorry, oh Lord, I'm sorry
The Duke Meets the Earl seems like an obvious album, pairing two of New England's finest contemporary blues guitarists, Duke Robillard and Ronnie Earl, who both share the same sort of hard, clear tone in their playing (Earl actually replaced Robillard in Roomful of Blues when the latter left the group for a solo career). For Earl, who has been working in a kind of jazz blues hybrid style in recent years, it marks a return to straight blues, and with guests like Jimmy McGriff and Mighty Sam McClain aboard on select tracks, The Duke Meets the Earl has the feel of a super session. Throughout, Earl's guitar is featured in the left channel and Robillard's in the right, leading to some wonderful guitar dialogues, particularly on an epic, nearly 16-minute-long version of Walter Price's "My Tears." Another extended workout occurs on "A Soul That's Been Abused," an Earl original, which features McClain on vocals and stretches out to just over 13 minutes. McGriff brings his Hammond B-3 magic to two cuts, Eddie Taylor's "Lookin' for Trouble" and B.B. King's "I Need You So Bad," while the B-3 part on "A Soul That's Been Abused" is handled by Dave Limina. Other highlights include covers of T-Bone Walker's "Two Bones and a Pick," Magic Sam's "What Have I Done Wrong," and Earl's smooth, clear slide style on another original, "Zeb's Thing." With only eight tracks, but clocking in at over 70 minutes, The Duke Meets the Earl gives these two fine guitarists plenty of room to talk to each other, and the result is a classy set of no-frills contemporary blues, with just the slightest hint of jazz to keep it all smooth. - Allmusic
