From New Orleans to Chicago is an album by the American musician Champion Jack Dupree, released in 1966.[1][2] It was released in the United States in 1970, reprocessed from mono to stereo.[3] The album was rereleased in 1987 as Won't Be a Fool No More, with two additional tracks, "24 Hours" and "Calcutta Blues".[4][5]
Recorded at Decca Studios in London, the album was produced by Mike Vernon.[6][7] Dupree was backed by Tony McPhee and Eric Clapton on guitar, John Mayall on harmonica, Bill Shortt on washboard, Keef Hartley on drums, and Malcolm Pool on bass; unlike many American blues musicians, Dupree thought that his British counterparts were adept at finding the feeling of the blues.[8][3][9] "Won't Be Fooled No More" is a cover of the Big Maceo Merriweather song.[10] "T.V. Mama" is a version of the Big Joe Turner song.[10] "(Going Down To) Big Leg Emma's" is performed as a spoken blues.[5]
