The similarities between Pinetop Perkins and Hubert Sumlin are striking. Both artists were born in the Mississippi Delta and remain firmly rooted in the musical and cultural traditions of that region. They both migrated north to Chicago and became seminal figures in the course of electric blues music - Perkins through his association with Muddy Waters and Sumlin through his association with Howlin' Wolf. Remarkably, both artists also set out on solo careers - at a time in life when most people are enjoying their retirement - and gained immediate acceptance and popularity as headliners. The two even completed several North American and European tours together during the Eighties which led to a close friendship and a deep mutual respect. Today they are the revered, elder statesmen of the blues: Perkins the piano player and Sumlin on guitar.

Here for the first time, is a full-length recording of these two masters of the blues, as they look back to find their most gratifying moments in song. There has been a tendency in both Perkins and Sumlin, particularly in recent years, to revisit their earliest musical experiences. If you detect a nod in the direction of their youth on this record, rest assured, it's just a case of two great bluesmen rekindling the spirit of an incredible era and finding, once again, what is pure and convincing in music. Together, with extremely able and enthusiastic players, Perkins and Sumlin set a wonderfully warm and happy mood on this record. Enjoy!

Special thanks to Bea Sumlin, Luther, Klarity, Ruby Simpkoff, Sonny True, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf.
