Am 7. Juli erreicht die Blueslegende das gesegnete Alter von 95 Jahren, zum Geburtstag gönnt er sich ein einmaliges Projekt: Mit seinen Friends spielt er unvergessene (Delta) Blues Klassiker ein, wer könnte dies besser als diese Ansammlung der einflussreichsten Protagonisten dieses Genres?
Produzent Doug B. Nelson schwärmt: »Als Produzent bekommt man selten Gelegenheit mit einer solchen Reihe von Legenden zusammenzuarbeiten. Pinetop hat über zwei Jahre sein ganzes Herz in diese Projekt gelegt, und das hört man!«
Pinetop Perkins and Friends includes guest appearances by Eric Clapton, Willie Kent, B. B. King, Jimmie Vaughan and more
There are very few direct ties left to the golden age of post-World War II American blues – that seminal period in the 1940s and ‘50s when the acoustic sounds of the Mississippi delta migrated northward and gave way to the more electric groove of northern locales like Chicago and St. Louis. With the passing of John Lee Hooker and Robert Lockwood Jr. in recent years, almost no one can claim any first-hand connection to seminal figures like Muddy Waters or harpist Sonny Boy Williamson.
Pinetop Perkins is among the few. Now in his 90s, Perkins has been playing blues and boogie piano for more than six decades – including a twelve-year stint with Muddy Waters’ legendary outfit from 1969 to 1980. In addition to Muddy and the other aforementioned legends, Perkins has also had numerous encounters and collaborations with titans like Robert Nighthawk, Earl Hooker, B. B. King, Willie Dixon and Howlin’ Wolf.
Pinetop Perkins and Friends, set for release on Telarc on June 3, 2008 (just a few weeks before Perkins’ 95th birthday on July 7), is just what the title implies – a giant of blues piano surrounded by more than a dozen high-caliber musicians, many of them legendary in their own right, all of whom hold him in the highest regard. Included on the star-studded guest list are guitarists Eric Clapton, B. B. King and Jimmie Vaughan, bassist Willie Kent (who passed away in March 2008), drummer Willie “Big Eyes” Smith and many more.
