Little Willie Littlefield & Champion Jack Dupree: Good Rockin' Blues & Boogie (2-CD)
Blues and R&B legends Little Willie Littlefield and champion Jack Dupree had a lot in common. Both had long recording careers stretching back to the 1940s, recording for independent record labels; both chose to live in Europe; both recorded albums in Europe; and both headlined the first-ever Burnley Blues Festival in the United Kingdom in 1989.
Blues fans were treated to a weekend of blues, R&B and boogie, with Willie leading the program on March 23 and Jack accompanied the following night by the Big Town Playboys, who perfectly recreated the rhythm and blues that Willie and Jack recorded in the late 1940s and 1950s.
The tracks collected here are from their Burnley performances, with the exception of three tracks Willie recorded with the Playboys at the Belgium Blues Festival in 1986, which were later broadcast on national BBC radio on the Paul Jones Show.
"Little Willie Littlefield was in the best form I've ever seen him in. He gave us a selection of straight blues and boogie." Tony Collins, Juke Blues magazine
"Jack Dupree and the Big Town Playboys took the room apart with '50s classics, and the audience cheered him on after every number." Tony Burke, Blues & Rhythm magazine

Little Willie Littlefield
Als wahres Wunderkind schaffte sich Little Willie Littlefield das Klavierkönnen seines Helden Albert Ammons so gründlich drauf, dass er schon als Teenager die Läden auf Houstons Dowling Street rockte. Seine Vorliebe für stampfende Boogies machte ihn zu einer naheliegenden Antwort auf den ebenfalls aus Houston stammenden Amos Milburn, der damals ein brandheißer Hitmacher war. Also sicherte sich Modern Records Littlefield im Jahr 1949 und brachte ihn nach L.A.. Seine Angewohnheit, Klaviertriolen mit einem Blues-Backbeat zu kombinieren, wurde in New Orleans von Fats Domino aufgegriffen, der daraus ein Haupt-Stilmittel seines Sounds machte.
Littlefield stammt aus El Campo, Texas (wo er am 16. September 1931 geboren wurde), und machte seine ersten 78er für Eddie Henry, den Besitzer von Eddie's Record Shop auf der Dowling Street. Der war von dem Sound so begeistert, dass er das nach ihm benannte Eddie's-Label extra gründete, um Littlefield der Öffentlichkeit vorzustellen, erstmals 1948 mit Little Willie's Boogie. Dann kam Jules Bihari nach Houston und hörte Little Willie im El Dorado Ballroom. Sein erster Hit für Modern 1949, It's Midnight, wurde in Houston aufgenommen, mit dem späteren Saxofonisten von Ray Charles, Donald Wilkerson, in der Band; aber die folgenden Platten von Littlefield entstanden an der Westküste. Dazu gehörte Hit The Road, ein selbst verfasster Jump-Titel (unter den Jules Bihari wieder sein Autorenpseudonym neben Littlefields Namen setzte), der am 11. Dezember 1949 in L.A. aufgenommen wurde. Die höhenlastige, sehr direkte Gitarre spielte vermutlich Chuck Norris.
Willie erreichte zwei weitere R&B-Chartplatzierungen, Farewell und I've Been Lost, bevor er 1952 Modern verließ und zu Federal Records wechselte. Dort spielte er die Originalversion von Kansas City als K.C. Loving ein (die aus irgendeinem Grund die Hitparade komplett verpasste) sowie solch unvergessene Titel wie The Midnight Hour Was Shiningund Sitting On The Curbstone. Während er in der Gegend von San Francisco wohnte, tauchte Willie 1957 mit Ruby Ruby auf Don Barksdales Rhythm-Logo auf und verbrachte in den folgenden zwei Jahrzehnten die meiste Zeit damit, die Kundschaft der Dinner-Clubs in San José zu unterhalten. In den 80er-Jahren zog Littlefield in die Niederlande, konnte seine Karriere wieder in Schwung bringen und spielt seitdem weltweit auf namhaften Festivals (darunter 2009 bei der Ponderosa Stomp und beim Chicago Blues Festival).
