Originally released on the Decca record label, they are a fascinating part of the British blues boom of the late 60´s... Remastered from original master tapes CD slipcase and new sleevenotes.

Dupree's playing is almost all straight blues and boogie woogie, with no ballads or pop songs, not even blues ballads. He was not a sophisticated musician or singer, but he had a wry and clever way with words: "Mama, move your false teeth, papa wanna scratch your gums." He sometimes sang as if he had a cleft palate and even recorded under the name Harelip Jack Dupree. This was an artistic conceit, as Dupree had excellent, clear articulation, particularly for a blues singer.

They released one album in 1967 under the name 'Champion Jack Dupree & his Blues Band featuring Mickey Baker' Champion Jack Dupree & his Blues Band Featuring Mickey Baker and one compilation in 1969 under the name 'Champion Jack Dupree & Mickey 'Guitar' Baker' Jack and Mickey in Heavy Blues. All songs were recorded in London, April 4/5, 1967, and were produced by Mike Vernon. Mickey 'Guitar' Baker's birth name is McHouston Baker.
