Joe Willie “Pinetop” Perkins was born in Belzoni, Mississippi in 1913. He takes is name “Pinetop” from Pinetop’s Boogie Woogie, a showpiece instrumental he has long included in his performances but which was written and first recorded by Pinetop Smith in 1928 when Perkins was only 15 years old, but already playing guitar in Mississippi juke joints. Perkins switched to the piano after injuring the tendons in his left forearm in a barroom fight.Track Listing
Perkins appeared with Robert Nighthawk and Sonny Boy Williamson on KFFA radio in Helena Arkansas during the 1940s, both on guitar and piano. While touring as a sideman with Earl Hooker, he made his first solo recording (of Pinetop’s Boogie Woogie) at Sam Phillip’s Sun Records studio in Memphis. During the 1950s he dropped out of the music business, settling in Illinois and taking a day job. He was convinced by Earl Hooker to accompany him on a recording in 1968, however, and soon found himself replacing Otis Spann on the piano in Muddy Waters’ band.
Now living in Austin, Texas, Perkins celebrated is 95th birthday in 2008
