Pinkney 'Pink' Anderson worked South Carolina medicine shows for decades, singing and playing guitar as a Piedmont blues songster whose repertoire ranged from raw blues to vaudeville-tinged novelty songs. His 1928 sides with Simmie Dooley captured a ragtime-loose, good-humored style that later got him rediscovered during the 1950s–60s folk-blues revival. He's remembered today largely for an accident of naming: Syd Barrett borrowed his first name, alongside bluesman Floyd Council's, to christen a new London band.
