Details: Amazon.caMany believe this 1967 landmark, Sam Maghett’s first full-length studio recording, is the greatest blues album ever made. While that assertion is awfully difficult to substantiate, these 11 gems (plus one alternate) certainly deserve hyperbolic praise. These cuts have a dramatically direct emotional appeal, a blunt, unfiltered artlessness that’s rarely been achieved in an electric setting. Sam’s spirited vocals come from his heart and his belly, not his brain. His guitar work is smoothly melodic, la B. B. King with a bit more bite, frenetic and energetic like Buddy Guy, but with more taste. Since this Mississippi native died at age 32, this album sits in a mystical place in blues history: In many ways, it is to Chicago blues what Robert Johnson’s meager output is to Delta blues. –Marc GreilsamerProduct DescriptionSam’s singing and playing have their own roots deeply implanted in the Mississippi soil of his youth as well as in the traumatic everyday life of the raw West Side. But like all good blues and all great art, he reaches far beyond his ethnic origins and his everyday experiences and speaks for us all. That is why you will like this album regardless of your previous taste if you are reasonably « aware, » « hip, » « turned-on » or whatever your generation’s slang may be for being in touch with humanity and life.
