Tradition of Chicago blues. This is John Primer, at seventy-nine, a working legend. This is Bob Corritore, at sixty-seven, a true harmonica master. Both together are already legendary. Guitarist and soul of the Teardrops in the best episodes of Magic Slim, Primer was Muddy Waters' guitarist and band-leader during the last three years of the bluesman's life. During his early years in Chicago, where he arrived in 1963, he also played alongside Junior Wells - seven days a week in Theresa's Lounge house band - Magic Sam and James Cotton among others. Primer began his solo career in 1991 and became one of the most active and requested bluesman in Chicago. As a leader he has released twenty-three albums and his guitar appears in the credits of artists such as Little Milton, Big Mama Thorton, Big Daddy Kinsey, James Cotton, Eddie Shaw, Hubert Sumlin, Lester Davenport, Michael Coleman, Valerie Wellington, Willie Buck, Big Voice Odom and Jerry McCain among many others. Bob Corritore was chosen to continue the tradition of Chicago harmonica players started by Little Wakter in the forties and later Sonny Boy Williamson, Walter Horton, James Cotton ,Junior Wells and Carey Bell defined the most undoubtedly inimitable and genuine sound of the blues in Chicago. Born in the Windy City, active since the late seventies, Corritore settled in Phoenix in the early eighties where he had unprecedented musical activism. First with Louisiana Red and later with Kid Ramos, Henry Gray, Dave Riley, Jimmy Smith, Janiva Magness and many others with whom he maintained a frenetic activity of recordings and live performances. In 1991, Corritore opened his own blues club, The Rhythm Room, which remains active to date. "Crawlin' Kingsnake" is the fourth album that John Primer and Bob Corritore release together and is another museum piece for any fan of classic Chicago blues in the hands of two legends of the genre.
