Stumbled on because they backed Champion Jack Dupree [ under the name 'Lightning Junior'] on what seems to me to be a less than stellar collaboration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6GRmuen904
Jack never made it all that big here either, really. Said,"Fuck this" , and went to Europe. Did better. I've probably linked this previously. . Better collaboration. Maybe he's singing about the U.S. in this one. Not a virtuoso pianist, but he could play the shit out of what he loved. I wish I had half the feeling and showmanship he did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd-37QTDxZA
