John Primer@Famous Dave's

Tonight I went to Famous Dave's to see bluesman John Primer and his group The Real Deal Blues Band. I had seen Primer at this location once before and had enjoyed his music. I decided about 5 or 6 weeks before that I needed to see some live blues being that my last blues show was Johnny Winter back in September also at Famous Dave's. I enjoyed Primers performance because I knew more of the songs he played because I had been listening to lots of Chicago Blues on Last FM. He played everything from Muddy to Magic Sam and even played a song in tribute to his friend and fellow Chicago guitarist Magic Slim who passed away earlier this year. His band was fantastic and put on a terrific show. The man with the harp sure played the heck out of it and was absolutely amazing. I also picked up his album blues on solid ground for 20 bucks which he signed. I will defiantly see him again when he roles through town.
