5.0 out of 5 stars Shuffle Blues Piano Master, February 13, 2009
This review is from: Pinetop Perkins (Audio CD)
Pinetop Perkins has been a leading member of the Chicago blues scene for many decades, and his beautiful shuffle-blues piano playing is in fine form here. He is the keeper of the flame for Otis Spann, Sunnyland Slim, Champion Jack Dupree, and other great blues pianists who are now playing in the big Juke Joint in the Sky.

The songs are Chicago blues classics that always sound good, because each interpretation is improvised according to the feeling of the singer or soloist. Sometimes these recordings with a lot a "guest artists" sound homogenized, but the musicians on this recording are all pro blues musicians who know how to lend tasteful and appropriate support. And it sounds like they're having a great time, too.

It is easy to overplay twelve-bar blues piano, or boogie-woogie piano, to the point of making the music sound mawkish. Pinetop's clean, tasteful licks and phrases show how it's done the right way. Beautiful stuff, highly recommended, and worth supporting.

Pinetop Perkins is not your avarage 95-year old ! Nor is he your average singer/piano player either. He and his guests do a great job bringing these songs to life. Can't wait 'till his next album !

What can I add to Pinetop Perkins Musical abilities.
He is a legend and he is the real McCoy, not a Hatfield or a Martin. Sorry that was funny.
