John Primer & The Teardrops 2014 - You Can Make It If You Try! [EAC FLAC]  John Primer & The Teardrops  John Primer 2015  John Primer (born March 3, 1945, Camden, Mississippi, United States) is an American Chicago blues and electric blues singer and guitarist. John Primer was part of Magic Slim & The Teardropsfor over 10 years. During his days with Slim, he always opened the show with his great voice and guitar playing. One of the greatest bluesmen around! By any yardstick, Chicago guitarist John Primer has paid his dues. Prior to making The Real Deal for Mike Vernon's Atlantic-distributed Code Blue label, Primer spent 13 years as the ever-reliable rhythm guitarist with Magic Slim & the Teardrops. Before that, he filled the same role behind Chicago immortals Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon. All that grounding has paid off handsomely for Primer. His sound is rooted in the classic Windy City blues sound of decades past: rough-edged and uncompromising and satisfying in the extreme. He's one of the last real traditionalists in town. By the time he came to Chicago in 1963, Primer was thoroughly familiar with the lowdown sounds of Waters, Wolf, Jimmy Reed, B.B. and Albert King, and Elmore James. He fronted a West Side outfit for a while called the Maintainers, dishing out a mix of soul and blues before joining the house band at the Southside blues mecca Theresa's Lounge for what ended up being a nine-year run. Elegant guitarist Sammy Lawhorn proved quite influential on Primer's maturing guitar approach during this period. Always on the lookout for aspiring talent, Willie Dixon spirited him away for a 1979 gig in Mexico City. After a year or so as one of Dixon's All-Stars, Primer was recruited to join the last band of Muddy Waters, playing with the Chicago blues king until his 1983 death. Right after that, Primer joined forces with Magic Slim; their styles interlocked so seamlessly that their partnership seemed like an eternal bond. But Primer deserved his own share of the spotlight. In 1993, Michael Frank's Chicago-based Earwig logo issued Primer's debut domestic disc, Stuff You Got to Watch. It was a glorious return to the classic '50s Chicago sound, powered by Primer's uncommonly concise guitar work and gruff, no-nonsense vocals. With the 1995 emergence of The Real Deal — produced by Vernon and featuring all-star backing by harpist Billy Branch, pianist David Maxwell, and bassist Johnny B. Gayden, Primer's star appeared ready to ascend. He soon transferred back to the Wolf label for sets such as 1997's Cold Blooded Blues Man, 1998's Blues Behind Closed Doors, and 2000's It's a Blues Life. You Can Make It If You Try!  Artist: John Primer & The Teardrops Title: You Can Make It If You Try! Release Date: June 10, 2014 Label: Wolf Records Catalog #: 120.833 CD ASIN: B00IS531E6 Genre: Blues, Chicago Blues, Electric Blues Total Time: 74:03 Min chicagobluesguide.com Review: You Can Make It if You Try! features over 75 minutes of live, traditional Chicago blues recorded in Europe in the 1990s by Austrian musician and producer Alex Munkas. John Primer sits in for Magic Slim (born Morris Holt) alongside fellow Teardrops Nick Holt on bass and Earl Howell on drums. The CD features 11 songs from what I’ve long considered to be “the Chicago blues songbook.” Of these 11 tracks, I particularly liked the band’s interpretations of Elmore James’ “Standing at the Crossroads,” Hound Dog Taylor’s “Big Fat Woman,” and three songs from Muddy Waters, including the infrequently heard “Sweet Man.” The version of “Long Distance Call” is an eight-minute slow blues scorcher, and the traditional reading of Robert Johnson’s “Love in Vain” will surely please blues purists. The set also features covers of “Corinna,” credited to Albert King, Guitar Slim’s “Things I Used to Do.  01. Sweet Man - 7:50 02. My Little Sister - 5:13 03. You Can Make It - 9:06 04.
