Finding Magic: The Life and Legend of Magic Sam
Magic Sam’s West Side Soul (1967) album is often regarded as a cornerstone of the electric blues and one of the best blues albums ever made.
“..... Janis Joplin used to make a zillion dollars playing up on the North Side (Chicago) and then go down and hear Sam play in a bar intuit 4 a.m. at $20 a night.”
-Dick Waterman; Manager of Buddy Guy “People often point out Magic Sam as a central figure in developing the West Side Chicago
blues sound, alongside Otis Rush, Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy.” -American Blues Scene
