A blues masterpiece from the dark side of life. - By: Jazzrook, 23 Sep 2006
'Blues From the Gutter', recordedin 1958, is easily the best work of New Orleans' pianist-singer Champion Jack Dupree & also a blues masterpiece.
Although the powerful songs deal with the dark side of life the music is strangely uplifting.
Produced by Jerry Wexler with a brilliant band featuring stunning solos from alto saxophonist Pete Brown & guitarist Larry Dale this album is an essential part of any blues collection.
