Perry migrated to California with his longtime buddy, the great keyboardist/singer Stephen Miller, and the two became part of Elvin Bishop’s Band. Perry soon jumped ship and formed his own group, and he consistently found musicians who loved equal parts of fun, mayhem, and the soulful blues and R&B that Perry taught (because joining The Pumpers meant qualifying for a sort of "finishing school"). Over the years, several members of Perry and the Pumpers went on to play with Elvin Bishop, as well as with musicians as different as John Lee Hooker and Peter Gabriel.
But while with Perry, they pumped out that sound demanded by The Boss, a driving, thumping, good-time blend of American Roots music. Dancers would be sweatin' and rockin', drinkers would be drinkin', and the energy would build to a crescendo, often culminating with Perry walking the bar, wailin' on that harmonica and belting out "Got My Mojo Workin'", while drop-kicking shot glasses off the bar. The band was no less colorful, including, at different times, characters like "Fly" Brooks, Johnny "V", "Cheetah" and Johnny "Ace".
Almost unbelievably, Perry is still doing that thing he does so well, and it must have been fate that, through a convoluted series of circumstances, he was reunited with some of his old bandmates Phil Aaberg and Steve Ehrmann, and a few new characters – and exceptional musicians. Some of us feel that he's never sounded better. The result is this CD, just honest music, heartfelt and soulful, without the electronic and contrived gimmicks present in so much of what passes for music today. These tracks were recorded live with no cheating (no perfection here, just like life), and a few solos and vocals were added later.
