Prime Movers Blues Band with Igg Pop "Walkin', By Myself"

The Prime Movers Blues Band was founded in the summer of 1965 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Inspired by hearing and meeting the great blues artists in Chicago and by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, the members of the band were dedicated to learning and playing the blues. Here are some band photos and some of Michael Erlewine interviewing a few of the great blues artists. From this experience, Erlewine went on to become an archivist and founded the All-Music Guide (allmusic.com), the largest music review site on the Internet.The main band members included:Michael Erlewinelead Singer, harmonicaDaniel Erlewinelead guitarRobert Sheff (keyboards)AKA Blue 'Gene' TyrannyJack Dawson (bass)James Osterberg (drums)AKA "Iggy Pop"OrJ.C.
