Grammy Award and Handy Award Nominee, John Primer’s history is the real deal!

John’s life started in Camden Mississippi on his grandmother’s sharecropper land, dreaming of a better life and working in the fields. His biggest dream in life was to someday play his guitar with his idol Muddy Waters. John ended up doing that and much, much more! John should be credited for helping Muddy Waters bring the Blues to Chicago and for taking it further into the 21st Century.John has been that perfect liaison – filling the gap between the older traditional style and the younger Chicago Blues style.John went from field songs and gospels, into traditional Blues, then R&B and Soul then finally pioneering the infamous Chicago Blues style we know today. “All Original” is a dream come true for John. 12 all original songs recorded for his very own record label – Blues House Productions, is another first.

From the 1940 Mississippi tradition, to Modern Electric, Chicago Blues, with legendary rhythm and soul vocals and master slide guitar techniques.

I owned this album on vinyl when it first came out. Someone borrowed it and never returned it over 20 years ago. It is great to hear it again.

Merlin's Bar, Carbondale, IL, early 1970's, Tuesday nights, 15 cent drafts.... and the Frogs were often there. This is one of my favorite albums, on earth.
