Blues legend Lucky Peterson talks about his incredible 50-year career

Discovered at the age of three by Willie Dixon, by the age of six Lucky Peterson had scored a top five US hit and appeared on the Ed Sullivan show.
Following a fascinating life which has included being mentored by Jimmy Smith and playing with the likes of Etta James, Bobby Bland and Little Milton, Lucky released his 20th studio recording last year which took the form of a tribute to the aforementioned Jimmy Smith.
