John Primer

John Primer

John Primer (born 3 March 1945, Camden, Minneapolis) is an American blues singer and guitarist.

Biography

He began playing guitar at the club, Theresa's, in Chicago between 1974 and 1980, where he was influenced by Sammy Lawhorn who taught him to play slide guitar. He joined the Chicago Blues All-Stars of Willie Dixon in 1979, then the Muddy Waters's band until his death in 1983. Then he joined the Teardrops of Magic Slim and began a solo career on Wolf Records.

The more considered "The Real Deal" (1995) was where his songwriting and weighty singing plainly reflected the lessons he learned from Dixon and Slim.cite book
