Recorded in 1986 with the Kenn Lending Blues Band (featuring Kenn Lending, Sverri Svansson, Kjeld Lauritsen, Frank Larsen and Jorgen Lang) and with guest Louisiana Red. Directed by Bent Zimmermann Nielsen and Ib Skovmand. Produced by Bent Zimmermann Nielsen and Bent Norby Bonde. Directors of Photography: Marcel Berga, Peter Roos and Henrik Sabinsky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis recording was made in early 1986 at various locations in Europe. Originally from New Orleans, Dupree moved to Europe in part to avoid the racism he experienced in the United States. He endured a difficult youth but found musical inspiration early on; ALBERTA, which he performs on this release, was one of his first compositions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his early years Dupree met many blues greats, including Peetie Wheatstraw, Big Bill Broonzy and Blind Boy Fuller. He later began a boxing career and earned the nickname that stuck with him. After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Dupree worked a variety of difficult gigs before relocating to Europe in 1959, where he lived for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release captures a variety of settings: nightclub performances, studio recordings and intimate home sessions. The recording showcases Dupree's barrelhouse piano style and his broad emotional range. In quieter moments we hear deep, melancholy songs such as YOU CAN MAKE IT and WHEN I WAS ONE YEAR OLD. Studio tracks include ALBERTA, the instrumental CROSSROADS and the funky MY HOME IN LOUISIANA. The nightclub performances present Dupree in a lively, party mood backed by the Kenn Lending Blues Band. Equally compelling are Dupree's unguarded facial expressions and shifting moods, at times playful, intense and joyful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampion Jack on singing: \"Singing the blues is like writing a letter. Everything I sing about is part of my life, either something that's happened to me or people I know... It's like making up pictures in your head, like a kind of movie, and it ends up as a blues.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack listing:\u003cbr\u003eDUPREE SPECIAL (RK) - 6:19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHEN I WAS ONE YEAR OLD (HR) - 4:26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCROSSROADS (ST\/KL) - 3:19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHEN I GOT MARRIED (RK) - 9:40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMEAN OLD LONESOME TRAIN (HR+LR) - 3:52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMY HOME IN LOUISIANA (ST\/KL) - 4:07\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALBERTA (ST) - 3:50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAMPION JACK'S BOOGIE (RK) - 6:23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYOU CAN MAKE IT (HR) - 4:02\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCredits: All compositions by Champion Jack Dupree.
