Pinetop Perkins Biography
A journeyman blues pianist who was prominent in the development of a modern boogie woogie style, Pinetop Perkins accompanied the likes of Big Joe Williams, Robert Nighthawk, and the original Sonny Boy Williamson (I) early in his career. He also recorded a celebrated version of Pinetop Smith's "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie" for Sun Records in 1953, leading many fans to mistakenly attribute the original composition to him (Perkins acquired his nickname from the tune). Eventually settling in Chicago, he took over the piano chair from Otis Spann in Muddy Water's band in 1969 and continued touring with Waters till the latter's death. Perkins himself continued to release contemporary blues albums all the way into the 2000s, collaborating with the likes of Susan Tedeschi and Marcia Ball on 2004's LADIES MAN.
