"Guitarist John Primer, a veteran of the bands of Muddy Waters and Magic Slim before he went on his own, got the vocal call when it came time to tackle the Roosevelt Sykes classic "44 Blues." Johnny Iguana's crashing piano work is modeled on what Memphis Slim played on his 1959 rendition with Willie Dixon rather than Sykes' rendition. " - Bill Dahl from liners
