RIP Pinetop Perkins

I posted a clip on Pinetop Perkins's ninety-seventh birthday last year. Not all that surprising that it was his last, but it's a shame anyway. He won his most recent Grammy just a few weeks ago. Here he is in 2007 at his late-1940s stomping grounds of Helena, Arkansas. He's joined by his longtime colleague in the Muddy Waters band, Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith on drums, along with Bob Margolin on guitar and Bob Stroger on bass.
