💿 ALBUM REVIEW: John Primer and Friends - Tribute To Theresa's Lounge

John fell in love with the blues as a child when his father and an older cousin played guitar and sang at night after a hard day in the fields. His mother moved to Chicago to secure a job and support her family. She promised to bring John and his sister to the big city when they reached age 18, leaving them with family.

A happy go lucky island feel complimented by Ferguson on keys and accordion. Higher and Higher , the R&B standard is given new life here by a springy vocalist in Hill and backing vocals by Big Bab...
