Champion Jack Dupree
One Last Time
Label: Bullseye BluesReleased: 1993
Genre: Blues, Boogie
This is the last full album of completely original material released by Champion Jack Dupree before he died in 1992. It was recorded during the same sessions as his album Forever And Ever (1992). He had three days of studio time and finished that album in one. Ultimately Jack Dupree had recorded three albums for Bullseye Blues in the two years he was with them. This after thirty-five years of no new output.
One Last Time is a great piece of old-time piano blues and boogie, with heavy doses of New Orleans Jazz in the mix, a common trait in his music. It's slow, light, and unlike a lot of the blues being put out at the time. This is very old school blues and a fitting final album. Ten songs of superb blues piano.
