    Valoración: ESSENTIAL

Superb VizTone tribute and great homage on an excellent dvd and a bonus cd with including ten songs to one of the most beloved alive piano players of the pure original post-war Chicago old school blues Born In The Honey is more than a Pinetop Perkins biographical documentary, because it gives us some historical background, such as the ‘great migration’ that took place in the middle of last century from southern Delta to industrial northern states Different interviews let us know some previously unknown details about Pinetop’s musical career which help to discover the personality of this amazing bluesman You will find interesting juicy interviews with Ann Rabson, Bernard Allison, Bob Margolin, Bobby Rush, Bubba Sullivan, Dr John, Eddy ‘Big Chief’ Clearwater, Hubert Sumlin, Ike Turner, Kim Wilson, Koko taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Marcial Ball, Mitch Woods, Paul Oscher, Sam Carr, Taj Mahal and, of course, Willie ‘Big Eyes’ Smith An impressive list of blues celebrities who already make that dvd essential And if the interviews are interesting no less interesting are the musical set included along the sixty dvd minutes You will find Pinetop backed with Bob Margolin, Mookie Briil, Willie ‘Big Eyes’ Smith, Ann Rabson, Diunna Greenleaf, Curtis Salgado or Calvin Jones among others Now aged 93, Pinetop Perkins still has many things to do, many songs to play and sing, isn’t it?
