Pinetop Perkins

�Pinetop Perkins & Friends� (Telarc): B+

To celebrate the boogie-woogie pianissimo king�s 95th birthday, a who�s wHO of blues stalwarts came to party. B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan and Nora Jean Brusco are a few world Health Organization pay court by sitting in with the former Muddy Waters sideman. Still amazingly agile on the ivories, Perkins� rollicking style brings modern life to these blues standards. His singing voice is gruff but endearing as he playfully engages with his guests.
