John Primer followed the great blues highway and moved to Chicago from his hometown of Camden, Mississippi in 1963. Within a year 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!
