Primitive Son is the sixth album by Virginia-based blues rock artist Eli Cook.

The album leans more to the grunge/hard rock side of Cook's work, and features a slew of guest musicians such as Leslie West and Vinny Appice.

Emma Johnston from Louder stated that the album contained "Timeless stuff created by a scholar of the genre".

[5] Steve Yourglivch from Blues Matters noted, "There is a high standard of songwriting and musicianship throughout.

The guests never overshadow Eli and his core band but add subtleties and nuances.
