The question was asked "who is Duke Robillard?" in response to news that he's currently in the studio recording with Dylan for his next album. A WWW search came up with this page:

Basically, the blurb on the page says:
With the recent release of his album, "Duke's Blues," Duke Robillard demonstrated his astonishing command of blues guitar styles - from T-Bone Walker to B.B.King to Albert King. Once best known for his work with the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Roomful of Blues, Duke has now established himself as a most versatile guitar stylist having recorded with and/or produced albums in the past few years alone for Jimmy Witherspoon, John Hammond, and Jay McShann. Duke and his band have recorded a new album, "Dangerous Place," to be released on pointblank/Virgin in the spring of 1997.
