Described by Blues Access as the best record this master of blues and boogie-woogie piano has ever made. On Top is a quiet record, allowing the master plenty of room to work his magic.

Pinetop is ably supported on this record by his old friend from the Muddy Waters Band, Jerry Portnoy, on harp, and a most impressive lineup of New England based players - Mudcat Ward on bass, Peter Parcek on guitar, Steve Ramsey on drums and many prominent guest artsist.

The task was simply to help Pinetop bring his music home and that was accomplished. the result is a wonderful documentation, and pinnacle, of Pinetop's distinguished career in blues.
