Saturday Matinee – Cat City, Pinetop Perkins & Luther Johnson
Cat City (2017) by Vewn.
“I wanted to portray a world where a character’s experience in the physical world is a reflection of their emotional turmoil. In a way, it parallels my own experience of growing up and leaving home to pursue what I thought was my dream, and then slowly realizing it wasn’t what I thought it would be.”
-Victoria Vincent
Joe Willie “Pinetop” Perkins (1913-2011) passed on a year after this performance. A long time member of Muddy Waters‘ band, he recorded Pinetop’s Boogie Woogie (1953), a song originally written and recorded by Clarence “Pinetop” Smith in 1929.
Woman Don’t Lie & Somebody Loan Me A Dime – Luther Johnson, with Sonny Thompson on piano (1973). The second [3:50] is a cover of a Fenton Robinson song.
Have a great weekend, more to come tomorrow.
“Are you happy now?”

Will You Ever Be Mine, Donnie Willis (1960)“The music business is full of crooks and thieves and people who’d stab their mothers for a dollar. And then there’s the downside.”
At 19, Donnie Willis co-founded the Vibra-Harps in 1955 and went solo in 1957, recording dozens of records for many labels and writing hundreds of songs during his career. Willis had first-hand experience getting cheated by record companies and partners in the music business, but found greater success as a “Northern Soul” artist in the UK. Eventually he got sick of it and quit.
The “Pass” is evil.
