Pinetop Perkins
Pinetop Perkins is one of the last great Mississippi bluesmen still performing. He began playing blues around 1927 and has created a style of playing that has influenced three generations of piano players. He is best known for holding down the piano chair in the great Muddy Waters Band for twelve years during the highest point of Muddy's career. Replacing the late, great Otis Spann in 1969, Pinetop helped shape the Waters sound It's certainly ironic that Pinetop waited for his eighth decade to blossom as a headliner releasing 15 solo records in 15 years beginning in 1992 and continuing until now in his 95th year.
