"The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant."-Salvadore Dalí
Hell yeah. I do have my favorites. Blues from the Gutter...#1. The Woman Blues....#2. ...featuring Mickey Baker...#3. Joe Davis Sessions....#4. I could go on. What are yours?
Def Blues from the Gutter. That cadence is unstoppable. I got at least 10 of 'em...gonna listen to him all day thanks to this. In '91, he played the Beale St. Music Fest blues tent to about 40 folks. At the end of his set, he wouldn't stop playing. Finally, a big roadie came and physically pulled him (all 140 pounds or so) off the piano while his fingers were still grabbing the keys. He was laughing his big smile...at least that's what I remember. Chris Robinson & another of the Black Crowes, who were headlining the fest that year, were standing in the front row paying homage. I was lucky to get to see the Champ fight one of his last battles! Then he played B.B. King's 3 weeks later. What a treat.
The whole Jack Dupree catalog is essential. Thank you for this piece!
