Pinetop Burks

Pinetop Burks (August 7, 1907 – January 11, 1947) was an American Texas blues pianist and songwriter. He was part of the "Santa Fe Group", a loose ensemble of black blues pianists who played in the many juke joints abutting the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Little is documented of Burks life outside of his brief recording career.
