Pinetop Perkins And Willie ‘‘Big Eyes Smith Joined at the Hip

Wed, 1 Sep 2010

PinetopHip_Pineto_2_nr450 The Grammy-winning blues and boogie pianist joins forces with the former Muddy Waters drummer to create an album to keep by your side at all times—a record for all moods. Heavily blues influenced, Joined at the Hip fires away with “Grown Up To Be a Man,” a straight-eighth shuffle that shows off Perkins’ chops and Smith’s impeccable groove. Each song is so strong and lyrically emotive that I couldn’t get my hand off the repeat button. A powerful collaboration. (Concord, pinetop perkins.com, williebigeyessmith.com)
