"Lake St. Lullaby"
"...a fine blues songwriter -- a tradition that becomes scarcer in this genre every year since Willie Dixon passed."
Blues & Rhythm (UK):
"...a warm vocalist and talented guitarist...who is never afraid to take chances...one of the most gifted performers on the contemporary blues scene..."
Juke Blues (UK):
"...this modern day troubadour demonstrates an originality both in his songwriting and in the variety of approaches he takes to convey these ideas..."
Blues Revue (US):
"...his musical persona is as palpable on disc as that of Taj Mahal or Keb' Mo' -- he's masterful, nuanced, and out to kill with blues power..."
Chicago Sun-Times:
"The ace guitarist released one of the finest local albums of 2003 with Lake St. Lullaby, notable for its varied compositions and contemplative lyrics....a tastefully understated blues guitar...his enthusiasm and axmanship set him apart from most other local blues artists..."
Illinois Entertainer:
"...a unique variety of blues-funk with hints of rock and hip-hop...solos are strong and creative...rap influenced vocals...one modern blues artist with vision, and the talent to bring that vision to light."
Chicago Reader:
"Dupont's solos seem to rise fully formed from their harmonic contexts: he'll play a chord, spin a note or two out of it, extend these notes in promising directions, return to the same chord, pick another idea, and repeat the same pattern...his determination to favor craft over pyrotechnics is an encouraging sign...plays passionate, thoughtfully structured solos, and his lyrics intelligently tweak blues stereotypes (the strutting badass, the country naif in the big city)."
