Bob & Chris play the same licks, which is less remarkable than the fact that they consistently play them in the same way -- emphasis on mimicking the bass line, highly repetitive figuration (sometimes to the point of rhythmic hypnosis), at the hind end of the beat, etc. Their respective pianos are recorded dry, with the same placement in the mix (which is probably their preference). They even play trills identically (to fill the count for the bar, for example, usually after the main blues lick or run is done) & with the same tripping (slightly unsure) touch!
They're both probably extremely influenced by Sonny Thompson.

Her solo at the end of Crystal has that slightly unsure feel to me... that is what I call Masterpiece soloing... it just takes me to the beach where I watch the sea rolling in and out.... (i'm dead serious about this) she really makes me feel what LB is singing and what SN wrote...
