Jim Allchin is an American blues-rock guitarist, computer scientist, and philanthropist. He grew up on a farm in the deep South, left to earn Masters / Doctorate degrees from Stanford University and Georgia Institute of Technology and went on to become a recognized leader in Computer Science and Software. While growing up in the south, I fell in love with the Blues. I have played it ever since. He has written, performed, and recorded throughout his life.
His newest album, Prime Blues, is his fourth widely-available solo album and second produced by 2x Grammy-winner Tom Hambridge. It was recorded, mixed, and mastered in Nashville. 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 Greenburg, 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.
"I started playing music in my early teens. My first instrument was the trumpet. I became fairly capable, but my teeth got loose and kept cutting my lips to the point of bleeding when I was going for the high notes. So, I saved up money and bought a acoustic guitar. Here's me singing (on the right) at a studio when I was a teenager.
I grew up in the deep south. I learned to play by listening to blues players and latin players or even new groups at the time (e.g., Allman Brothers). I traveled around playing in bands and writing music - mostly blues rock. I met some amazing musicians. I played 16+ hours a day. And I learned to hard lesson in the music business: being good matters, but there are lots of great musicians - luck matters too."
