[Machinka]

One of my favorite bluesmen of what was called the "West Side" sound from Chicago.

Today is 1 Dec 2009, Magic Sam died on this day 40 years ago at age 32. A life cut short as was Earl Hooker.

Sam you would have been a young 72 today. We miss you but have your music you left behine for others to enjoy.

[manfredhoch]

Yes - I confirm this words ! I`ve seen him ....Sam oct 1969 live in Stuttgart, spoke some words in the pause with him .... can never forget, because was a young guitar player (23) .... regards to all friends of him !!! manfred/austria

[clarkewi]

I think Sam would have been a huge star had he lived. Like Buddy Guy.

[pecowart]

@Machinka  Indeed Perfect.

[janv8]

Holy Moses what a killer version!!!

[Engineer109]

Feelin' Good by Junior Parker on Sun 187 - Magic Sam pays homage.

[WallowingGrizzly]

love this tune man, Sams pipes could soar like no other...."West Side Soul" is one of the greats.."Every Night and Every Day" is one of my favorites

[9mej]

i have this album its such a mind blowing album its magic at his best

[blindtcjohnson]

It's amplified Delta music......with homage to John Lee Hooker and Dr. Ross. Sam was originally from Mississippi, as lots of folks in Chicago are. 5/5*

[gollincho]

I would define what Chicago blues was a style andmodernized and established by bucks Otis Rush and Magic Sam, Buddy Guy who were followed guitar play of T-Bone and B.B.King.

[71rambler]

@gollincho Dude. Don't disrespect these late and great black artists by calling them by the derogatory moniker, "buck". Perhaps you are too old to know better, but I'm around 40 yrs old and even I understand that this is a racial slur. I know you probably didn't intend it as a racist comment.....but rest assured, I guarantee that the children and grandchildren of these great bluesmen would not feel honored by that name that you chose to call them.

[gollincho]

I wonder if it was a countermovement against rich white rock'n rollers by imitating Blues that Blues men who were subject to Chalie Patton, Sun House, Robert Johnson like Howlin' Wolf and Elmore to have made for Chicago from Memphis, Muddy directly to do for from Mississippi blared their Blues by an electric amplification and a band formation in the din of congestion Chicago.

[oramikleepunk]

@gollincho It was.That is why alot of the blues singers went to Chicago to get away from the recored labels mistreating them,and their music.

[gollincho]

Presley sang Tha's all right and made an explosion in Memphis where was a relay point from Delta to Chicago. The greater B.B. King sublimed the heart of Delta through an inovation of Blues by T-Bone's electric guitar.

[TheBrowndawg]

@gollincho t-bone was from texas not the delta pal, i hear what youre saying though

[tubevisuals]

I could be wrong, but this has a delta sound. The music follows the voice. What do you think?

[amiee1997]

Chicago Blues, West Side. Delta is acoustic and slide, but Chicago Blues took the Delta sound and played it on electrics.

[tubevisuals]

Okay, yes the amplified sound makes it Chicago West Side Blues, but the structure of the song is rooted in the Delta and West Africa. I like how the form of the music survived and entertains us today. Thanks Amiee1997.

[LAmazing]

My dad bought me this album when I was 12, and this was the sing that I couldn't get enough of. I just the love the wicked, percussive sound. Magic Sam's death was a GIANT loss for music. Imagine what he would have gone on to do.

[ucihapokujin]

aside from kicking ass you mean?

[gibbythepick]

is this a dr ross song?

[Dominas999]

Me 3 :-{D

[sammaghett]
