Our Take

Champion Jack Dupree's double album reissue, "Two Classic Albums Plus 40s & 50s Singles," is a delightful romp through the world of blues. The first disc, "Blues From The Gutter," is a raw, gritty collection of tracks that showcase Dupree's unique piano skills and soulful vocals. From the haunting "Strollin' Blues" to the rollicking "Nasty Boogie," this album is a masterclass in old-school blues.

On the second disc, "Natural & Soulful Blues," Dupree continues to impress with his versatility and charm. Tracks like "I'm Gonna Find You Someday" and "Evil Woman" showcase Dupree's knack for storytelling and emotional depth. The addition of the 40s & 50s singles is a bonus, providing listeners with even more insight into Dupree's musical evolution over the years.

While some may argue that the production quality on these recordings is not up to modern standards, it's important to remember the context in which these songs were originally recorded. Dupree's music is a snapshot of a bygone era, and should be appreciated for its authenticity and raw energy.

In conclusion, "Two Classic Albums Plus 40s & 50s Singles" is a must-listen for any fan of blues music. Champion Jack Dupree's talent and charisma shine through on every track, making this reissue a valuable addition to any music collection. So grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Dupree's soulful blues take you on a journey through time. Cheers to the champion!
