Our Take

To be perfectly honest, when we received a dusty old box labelled "The Champion Jack Dupree Collection 1941-53", we weren't quite sure what to expect. But oh boy, were we pleasantly surprised by the musical treasures we unearthed!

Champion Jack Dupree may not be a household name like some of his contemporaries, but after listening to this compilation, we have to wonder why that is. His infectious boogie-woogie piano playing and soulful vocals are an absolute treat for the ears.

Tracks like "Shake Baby Shake" and "Cabbage Greens" are guaranteed to get your feet tapping and your hips swaying. And if you're in the mood for something a little more introspective, Dupree delivers with heartfelt ballads like "Wine, Wine, Wine" and "Heavy Heart Blues".

The raw energy and passion in Dupree's music is truly infectious, and it's no wonder he became a legend in the blues world. This collection is a must-have for any music lover looking to expand their horizons and delve into the roots of American blues music.

So, dig out your dancing shoes, pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, and prepare to be taken on a musical journey through the early years of the one and only Champion Jack Dupree. Trust us, you won't regret it.
