Pinetop Perkins On The 88's - Live In Chicago has been nominated this year for Best Traditional Blues Album of 2007! The album ships together with the DVD that I edited in 2005 - Born in the Honey: The Pinetop Perkins Story. Pinetop also has another nomination this year with the album Last Of The Great Mississippi Delta Bluesmen, for which he was one of several contributing musicians. The 50th Grammy Awards take place on February 10th in Los Angeles.
