West Side Soul & Hoodoo Man Blues - for those two albums alone Delmark must be congratulated for capturing the essence of the Blues as it must've gone down in those Chicago clubs in the 50's& 60's! Classic stuff!
Sam came to Mississippi little twist plantatio 1964 and took me back to Chicago with him he would call me his son and sitting around when a new song was in the making I would all ways be there eating and playing around my life changed when he died his songs the blues had all the answers I've been looking and trying trying too find someone to call my own. Gerald Collins where is Tamera Williams Sam i still have our moments
fortyninelicks cabinga he didn't cause he died lol...he was going to sign to stax records which is why I'm guessing he said that..but yes he didn't record for stax
He was literally day from signing with Stax when he died. As I felt for many years, he was the precursor to Robert Cray. With his soulful song styling and matinees-idol looks, he would've been the commercial success that Cray became some 30 years later.
product of his times, Cray came around in the 80's, was hard for anyone to have an authentic blues sound like back in the Chicago days. Magic Sam is one of my heroes but Robert Cray has brilliant phrasing, no need to bash him. What can you play?
Not a wasted note! 180 degrees to most of today's famed wannabe blues players who play with a "a million notes too many, mathematician style" that lacks soul.
This is a cover- almost note for note- of a BB King tune. Magic Sam also covered Bobby Bland- i.e. "I Don't Believe You'd Let Me Down" and "I Don't Want No Woman"- and did the guitar parts almost note for note from the originals. Pretty impressive in the days when all he probably had was a 45 rpm single to get it from.
Wow , Otis Rush sings this song, and sounds just like Magic Sam, the whole song it's like an exact clone.. Not sure who's song it is, or who influenced who. Both Are great..
It doesn't make a difference. It's a question, for obvious reasons. ..understanding better the evolution of blues guitar. Good lord, why are you coming across as beingso argumentative ? It's just a question. Are you ok with questions, or are questions illegal?
its the blues, if you dont the blues in your heart,you haint living right..
Looking down from top of the world
In his overalls.

it seems kinda self-evident by mr collins` account that the answer to your question is "yes"...
What Incredible Music, His songs are amazing, I vote to make him an Honorary STAX Artist.
he never recorded for stax ,, Delmark and Cobra
fortyninelicks cabinga he didn't cause he died lol...he was going to sign to stax records which is why I'm guessing he said that..but yes he didn't record for stax
He sang so many songs about heart ache, what coincidence the heart took him. RIP SAM!

Magic Sam - Man, he never fails to knocks me out! t Sam was soooo scorchingly good.

hey thanx for posting, i have been a fan of sams since about a year before he died and that was 46 years ago. west side soul is my favorite album...
Photos are great!
Just great !! thanks for posting
Thanks for recording this. I almost prefer Sam's vocals to have that echo effect. Gives the song a new flavor.
I was checking Otis Rush, and Mr. Google quoted me as Magic Sam, I didn't even know him. he died too quickly .. maye he rest in peace
Magic Sam and Otis Rush knew what the fuck they were doing man!!! 🎸🎼😎 soak it up Jack!

Sam was a genius and Cray is mediocre

nonsense.......... Sam was vastly better than King in all respects except his management and promotion.
So, who was influencing whom....BB King influencing Magic Sam? Or, the other way around ?
Sam was more one part Otis Rush, one part Buddy Guy and a sprinkle of T-Bone. BB was doing no this before Sam came along.
