We caught up with Tommie "T-Bone" Pruitt in Laurel before he played a gig to add him to Blues @ Home as our 13th living legend.
With more than 50 years of playing the blues, T-Bone is one of Mississippi's truly seasoned blues performers.
We'll continue our voyage across the state collecting photos and oral histories of Mississippi's Top 40 blues legends. Stay tuned to watch this historic series of portrait paintings, oral histories and music unfold.
Tommie "T-Bone" Pruitt's home was destroyed in a fire over Memorial Day weekend 2011. Several benefits are being scheduled in the Hattiesburg/Laurel area to assist him, and donations can be made at any BancorpSouth location.
