专辑介绍
Renowned sidemen Pinetop Perkins and Hubert Sumlin may have played for employers who were bitter rivals (that would be Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, respectively), but they managed to sidestep this acrimony when they started touring together during the '80s. The resulting friendship and deep mutual respect eventually led to 1998's LEGENDS, an 11-track collection of blues standards and originals.
Throughout their collaboration, pianist Perkins and guitarist Sumlin take a laconic approach to classics associated with B.B. King ("Rock Me Baby"), Willie Dixon ("Hoochie Man"), Jimmy Reed ("Shame, Shame, Shame"), and Elmore James ("The Sky Is Crying"). Even more impressive are some of the original songs each man brought to these sessions. Perkins' "Sunnyland Slim" is a rambling narrative about his fellow pianist/legend, while Sumlin growls away and displays nimble soloing throughout "Nutcracker." The most upbeat number on LEGENDS is the swinging shuffle "She Walks Right In," in which backup players Annie Raines and Doug Wainoris show off how well the younger generation is carrying on the legacy of the blues.
LEGENDS was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

CMJ (12/21/98, p.27) - "...When two living blues legends like Pinetop Perkins and Hubert Sumlin get together, blues fans are in for a real treat....Incredibly, after decades on the blues circuit, this album marks the first time the two have actually played together..."

- @砂山(manu forte)：传奇蓝调钢琴家兼格林美奖最年长得主Pinetop Perkins，前日（ 2011年3月21日）在家中去世，享年97岁。其经理人Hugh Southard表示Pinetop在睡觉前感觉胸口痛，后来心跳停止，经医疗人员抢救后证实不治。 Pinetop在40年代曾在著名的King Biscuit Time电台节目中，与蓝调大师Sonny Boy Williamson合作，1969年加入Waters乐团。他堪称蓝调的象征，还挤身蓝调名人堂(Blues Hall of Fame)，但直至1988年才发行首张个人专辑。
