John PRIMER - Cold Blooded Bluesman 1997

Blues

John Primer is one of the driving forces in helping to keep alive the more traditional Chicago blues sound. Born in 1945 in Camden Mississippi John was raised on share-cropper land. I went to school in the morning, he said, and worked in the fields in the afternoon and night. After moving to Chicago in the early 60’s one of the first things John did was put together a band. By the end of that decade he landed a gig playing lead guitar with the house band at Theresa's where he backed up the likes of Junior Wells, Louis Myers, Jimmy Johnson, Lonnie Brooks, Paul Butterfield, Johnny Winter, Bonnie Raitt and many others. From there he joined Willie Dixon's band, The Chicago Blues All Stars in 1979. Six months later he was asked to join Muddy Water's band after being referred by Mojo Buford. This turned out to be Muddy's last band (with Lovie Lee on piano) and it was a shock to Primer when Muddy died. Primer said, Muddy was a great guy and I was ready to play with him as long as he wanted me to. After that great experience he played for the next 13 years with Magic Slim & The Teardrops saying he really enjoyed all those years, We were like a family, like brothers. Finally, in 1996 with the encouragement of Maurice Holt, John set out on his own with his own band and his new solo album.
