Pinetop Perkins – Chicago Boogie Blues Piano Man

Pinetop Perkins was a bluesman who found fame late in life. Active in the 1950s on the Memphis scene, he left the music for many years. But then came back just when blues legends had a new, wider audience in the late 1960s. A gifted blues piano player and delightful singer he had the full package as bandleader. But he found his fame as piano player with Muddy Waters – and that gig took him around the world and made him famous. There are three bonus tracks from a Big Moose Walker Chicago studio session. He’s another stone legend of the postwar blues scene.
