Pinetop himself got his nickname by making Pinetop Blues (Pinetop Boogie, or whatever it was called?) famous, though he wasn't the one who originally recorded it. In my early days of studyin the blues, I was always trying to figure out who wrote what, but much of it is lost to antiquity or assumption. Muddy got his awesome "Got My Mojo Workin" from a lady, Ann something. And Mannish Boy was more than a little similar to Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man," which sounded suspiciously like Muddy's "Hoochie Coochie Man." Crazy how much stuff was borrowed, lifted, and even sued over in the blues and early rock 'n roll. Hard to keep track!
