Champion Jack Dupree – Blues From The Gutter (Vinil 180g, LP)

This is the 1958 masterwork album of Champion Jack Dupree’s long and prolific career. Cut in New York  with a blasting band that included saxist Pete Brown and guitarist Larry Dale, the Jerry Wexler-produced Atlantic collection provides eloquent testimony to Dupree’s eternal place in the New Orleans blues and barrelhouse firmament. There’s some decidedly down-in-the-alley subject matter – „Can’t Kick the Habit”, „T.B. Blues”, a revival of „Junker’s Blues” – along with the stomping „Nasty Boogie” and treatments of the ancient themes „Stack-O-Lee” and „Frankie & Johnny”.   

Champion Jack Dupree (p, voc); Pete Brown (as); Ennis Lowery (g); Wendell Marshall (b); Willie Jones (dr)

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
