What I'm Listening to Today (3/13/16

Today I'm listening to one of my favorite blues piano players, Joseph "Pinetop" Perkins. Pinetop played with all sorts of musicians, mostly blues players and wrote and recorded music throughout his long career. Most notably I guess, he played for a number of years with Muddy Waters - that was how I first heard him. While visiting my sister one time, I actually got to see him play live in a little club in NYC. He had to have been in his eighties at least.

This is the album I'm listening to right now - "Heaven". I found it on our free music download/streaming service.
