Pinetop Perkins - Born In The Honey: The Pinetop Perkins Story On The 88's.. (2007)

He admittedly wasn't the originator of the seminal piano piece "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie", but it's a safe bet that more people associate it nowadays with Pinetop Perkins than with the man who devised it in the first place, Clarence Pinetop Smith. Although it seems as though he was around Chicago forever, the Mississippi native actually got a relatively late start on his path to Windy City immortality. It was only when Muddy Waters took him on to replace Otis Spann in 1969 that Perkins' rolling mastery of the ivories began to assume outsized proportions.

"Born In The Honey: The Pinetop Perkins Story" is the only authorized video biography of 93-year-old blues piano legend Pinetop Perkins. It outlines his humble beginnings and his long life in the Blues through documentary footage, interviews with fellow friends and musicians such as Bobby Rush, Ike Turner, Kim Wilson and others, and straight from the legend himself.

Several live performances are included on the DVD and the accompanying CD features a live show in Chicago and a previously unreleased studio take on "Rather Quit Her Than Hit Her". This is a rare and special glimpse into the life and music of a true legend in American music.
