Champion Jack has the full range of a fine player--and I like his carefree upbeat boogie, as he is here. But he can also get the downest of down low blues that really hits you where you need it. And besides when you see a blues guy you don't want the happy stuff, know what I'm saying? On his sorrowful blues, his vocals range from amazing gravel-voiced self-pity to soaring deep-breathed self-pity. Ah, I'm not getting to his brilliance--you got to hear this 'good man feeling bad' to really get the gist of what I'm saying. There is a good collection of vid on You Tube, check it out, but the cameras apparently don't bring out the melancholy stuff.
