John Primer followed the great blues highway and moved to Chicago from his hometown of Camden, Mississippi, in 1963. Soon he was rocking such West Side clubs as The Place, The Bow Tie, and Lover's Lounge. Over the years he was a member of the house band at the South Side's legendary Theresa's club, of Willie Dixon's Chicago All-Stars, and, until 1995, of Magic Slim & the Teardrops. That year he released his Atlantic Records debut, "The Real Deal," and his nine albums since then have been classics of traditionalist blues phrasing and lightning-fast slide guitar. A master storyteller and songwriter, he has an endless repertoire and a sound that's at once very familiar and pretty hard to find these days. John is the real deal in Chicago blues!
