Pinetop Perkins and the Perfect Age of Rock n Roll Blues Band

At 95 years young, Pinetop Perkins is one of the last great Mississippi bluesmen still performing. He began playing blues around 1927 and is widely regarded as one of the best blues pianists. He’s created a style of playing that has influenced three generations of piano players and will continue to be the yardstick by which great blues pianists are measured. Pinetop 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. He's quick to joke and play with words and he still goes out every night because he loves people and is known for making everyone around him feel good.
