Evil Woman

Cut during the Blues from the Gutter sessions, this track features the New Orleans pianist alongside a tight Atlantic studio band, including saxophonist Pete Brown. Dupree's barrelhouse piano style is front and center, but it's the dialogue between his rolling left hand and Brown's gritty alto saxophone that drives the song. The horn doesn't just support the melody; it acts as a second voice, answering Dupree's vocal lines in a classic call-and-response blues tradition that stretches back to the field holler.
