Lucky Peterson (born Judge Kenneth Peterson, December 13, 1964, Buffalo, New York〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lucky Peterson )〕) is an American musician who plays contemporary blues, fusing soul, R&B, gospel and rock and roll. He plays guitar and keyboards. Music journalist Tony Russell, in his book ''The Blues - From Robert Johnson to Robert Cray'' has said, "he may be the only blues musician to have had national television exposure in short pants." ==Biography== Peterson's father, bluesman James Peterson, owned a nightclub in Buffalo called The Governor's Inn. The club was a regular stop for fellow bluesmen such as Willie Dixon. Dixon saw a five-year-old Lucky Peterson performing at the club and, in Peterson's words, "Took me under his wing." Months later, Peterson performed on ''The Tonight Show'', ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' and ''What's My Line?''. Millions of people watched Peterson sing "1-2-3-4", a cover version of "Please, Please, Please" by James Brown. At the time, Peterson said "his father wrote it". Around this time he recorded his first album, ''Our Future: 5 Year Old Lucky Peterson'', for Today/Perception Records and appeared on the public television show, ''Soul!''. As a teen, Peterson studied at the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts, where he played the French horn with the school symphony. Soon, he was playing backup guitar and keyboards for Etta James, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and Little Milton.〔 The 1990s were a prolific period for Peterson. Two solo Bob Greenlee produced albums for the Chicago-based Alligator Records (1989's ''Lucky Strikes!'' and the following year's ''Triple Play'') remain his finest recorded offerings. He then released four more for the record label, Verve Records (''I'm Ready'', ''Beyond Cool'', ''Lifetime'' and ''Move''). While with Verve, Peterson collaborated with Mavis Staples on a tribute to gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, called ''Spirituals & Gospel''. Peterson played electric organ behind Staples' singing. More albums from Peterson came after 2000. He recorded two for Blue Thumb Records (''Lucky Peterson'' and ''Double Dealin), and one for Disques Dreyfus entitled, ''Black Midnight Sun''. In 2007, he released ''Tete a Tete'' on JSP Records. In 2013, the Blackbird Music/55 Arts Club DVD of ''Live At The 55 Arts Club Berlin'' was nominated for a Blues Music Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blues Music Awards Nominees - 2013 - 34th Blues Music Awards )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lucky Peterson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
