Prime Blues features 14 new tracks performed by an all-star group of musicians including: bassist Glenn Worf, rhythm guitarists Rob McNelley, Bob Britt and Kenny Greenberg, keyboardist Kevin McKendree, drummer Tom Hambridge, vocalist Mycle Wastman, The Memphis Horns and special guest vocalists Grammy-winner Bobby Rush, and Blues Award winner Mike Zito.

Featured in Apple Music and receiving wide critical acclaim, Allchin's last LP, Decisions, topped Contemporary Blues and Blues Rock charts for months and was named a Top 20 Blues Rock Album of 2017 by the venerable Roots Music Report. The LP registered nearly 1 million plays on Spotify.

The reviewers say:

“Lovers of modern blues need to check him out."—Norman Darwen, Blues in the South Review

“If you decide to hear some great music, here it is!"—Smoky Mountain Blues Society

“Allchin flat out rips!"—Rick Bowen NW Blues

Allchin adds: “The title 'Prime Blues' refers to both my love of the blues as well as my love of mathematics. 'Prime Blues' is more concentrated blues than my past albums and at the same time more diverse in terms of style, guitar technique, and guitar tone. Each song tells a story- about an experience, life observation, or my life philosophy in general. I hope you find some of these songs just flat out fun!"
