Pinetop Perkins was 91 when this CD was released . It is a CD of duets he did with leading women blues stars as well as some songs on his own. Among his duet partners are Deborah Coleman, Susan Tedeschi, Madeline Peyroux (more of a jazz star), Marcia Ball, Angela Strehli, and Odetta. The duets concept has been used by many others but what makes this good is he chooses really good and diverse artists to work with. A very good CD with a lot of top talent in support of one of blues top piano players. 4.5 Stars.

What can be said about Pinetop Perkins that hasn't already been said? He plays wonderfully on these tracks and each duet blends into the music like Pinetop and the ladies have always sung and played together. It's a fun CD and will have you tapping your feet and rooting for Mr. Perkins to live for another 97 years!

This was my first music download from Amazon, and it was worth it. If you like Pintop Perkins you can't go wrong here. Pinetop isn't the strongest singer, though he isn't bad either. What he does here is work with several vocalists and does what he does best, plays great piano. This is a fun and enjoyable collection of music!
