My personal review and reflection:
Lovely piano blues from the sixties. Eric plays on two tracks.
I saw Champion Jack Dupree live in Sweden two times in 1975 or 1976. On one of the occasions Champion Jack played for 15 people in a friend of mines house. To sit on the floor two meters from Champion Jack and his piano was an unforgettable experience.
