Alfonzo “John” Primer was born in Camden, Mississippi, in 1945. He was born on sharecropper land and grew up working in the fields. Primer migrated to Chicago with his mother in 1963. His blues career began on Maxwell Street, playing for tips. Primer got his first gig at Theresa’s Lounge, located at 48th and South Indiana Avenue, where he became a regular. Primer played guitar in Willie Dixon’s Chicago Blues All-Stars and in the Muddy Waters Band. He later joined Magic Slim and the Teardrops. Primer was nominated multiple times for Traditional Blues Male Artist at the Blues Music Awards, first winning in 2016. Primer was also the lead vocalist, guitarist, and featured artist on the Grammy-nominated “Muddy Waters 100” project. Overall, Primer is a three-time Grammy nominee. This is Primer’s twenty-first album. The album is dedicated to Theresa Needham.

Theresa provided a safe place for musicians. She gave them a place to connect and the freedom to play together. All the greatest blues musicians played there: Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Howlin’ Wolf, Hubert Sumlin, Earl Hooker, Buddy Guy, Jr. Wells, Luther Tucker, Otis Rush, Magic Slim & the Teardrops, Mike Bloomfield, Little Walter, Otis Spann, Jimmy Rogers, and others. Featured on this tribute are Primer, Billy Branch, Bob Stroger, Willie Buck, Mary Lane, Harmonica Hinds, Carlos Johnson, Twist Turner, John Watkins, Tony Mangiullo, and Jeff Brinkman.

John Primer’s dream of becoming a musician came true at Theresa’s Lounge. It was like home to him and it changed his life forever. Primer states, “We are all in our seventies, eighties, and nineties now. I am so happy we were all healthy enough to make this tribute to Theresa’s Lounge and to Theresa Needham. I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do.” /Richard Ludmerer, Making A Scene
