A NOTE FROM JOHN

“The songs on John Primer and Friends Tribute to Theresa’s Lounge  have a lot of meaning to me. These songs remind me of Theresa’s Lounge. You would hear my teachers singing them. ”Up in Heah“, is a  song that Junior Wells would sing to kick off his set, I wrote “7 Nights for 7 Years” especially for this tribute. It’s about how hard I worked and paid my  dues at Theresa‘s. I wrote “The Blues is King”, which tells how important it is to keep the true blues traditions intact and alive. Billy Branch sang “Sugar Sweet“, which is a song Muddy Waters would sing down there along with Willie Buck’s version of “Champagne and Reefer” and  Carlos Johnson’s, “She’s Nineteen Years Old”. I wrote “We all Need Help”, in the memory of Theresa Needham. She was always giving to people in need. She taught me so much about how important it is to give to those that are in need. The song “Little by Little” is one of my favorite Junior  Wells songs. Mary Lane was the only regular woman singer at Theresa‘s. I had to include her song, “Mary’s Song” on this album.  James Cotton sang John Watkins song, “Here I am Knockin’ at Your Door Again” at Theresa‘s so I asked John to sing it for us. I took John Watkins’ place after he quit Junior’s house band. The last song was sung every night by  Sammy Lawhorn at Theresa‘s, “Mean Old World” is a tribute to him. These songs and these musicians mean a lot to me. We all got our start together at Theresa’s Lounge. 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 together. I am happy to be able to pay tribute  to Theresa. I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do.” John Primer
