Forever and Ever is an album by the American musician Champion Jack Dupree, released in 1991. It was his second album for Bullseye Blues and the last one released during his lifetime. The album won a W. C. Handy Award.

Produced by Ron Levy, the album was recorded in New Orleans. "Third Degree" was written by Eddie Boyd. Bo Dollis duetted with Dupree on "Yella Pocahontas". The title track is about embracing the end of one's life.

Critical reception
The Press of Atlantic City called Dupree "a New Orleans treasure whose music connects directly with the tones of Prof. Longhair and Dr. John." The Washington Post wrote that the album "alludes to some of his other Crescent City alliances... Yet the reminiscences, like the music itself, flow freely, without the slightest hint of prodding or preparation." The Boston Herald concluded: "Mixing barrelhouse, New Orleans and single-note blues styles with plenty of space and a booming voice that sounded aged in brine, this New Orleans native ... was proof that the real blues don't need any reviving."

OffBeat deemed Forever and Ever "a modern blues masterpiece," writing that "Jack is relaxed and swinging with a New Orleans groove that puts the music so far back in the alley where even rats fear to tread." Robert Christgau facetiously called Dupree "a dirty old man in fine fettle entertaining the room... And for sure his age is part of the charm."
