Champion Jack Dupree – Scoobydoobydoo (1969)
Step into the world of authentic barrelhouse blues with Scoobydoobydoo, a classic late-60s release from the legendary Champion Jack Dupree. Recorded during his prolific European years, this album captures the "Champion" in peak form, blending his sophisticated New Orleans piano style with the gritty, storytelling lyrics that made him a folk-blues icon.
Originally a professional boxer (hence the nickname), Dupree brings that same punchy, rhythmic energy to the keys. The record is a delightful mix of upbeat boogie-woogie and deep, soulful blues, all delivered with his trademark gravelly vocals and wry sense of humor. It’s an essential piece for anyone looking to capture the spirit of the French Quarter and the evolution of the blues on wax.
