Multi-label compilation features Dupree classics originally on the Red Robin, Groove, Apollo, Vik, and Atlantic labels all of them blistering rockers.
Jack’s all-star sidemen include guitarists Brownie McGhee, his brother ’Stick’ McGhee, and Larry Dale and sax blasters Sam ’The Man’ Taylor, King Curtis, and Pete Brown.
Dupree’s hybrid of New Orleans R&B and New York blues was singular.
No other Dupree collection encompasses so many vintage labels.
In-depth liner notes by compiler Bill Dahl cover the entirety of Dupree’s spectacular career as a pioneering blues and barrelhouse pianist.
