Magic Sam | West Side Soul | Album

Magic Sam Blues Band "West Side Soul"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Delmark, US, 2009, DS-615, 0038153061517, Reissue

Released in 1968, West Side Soul by the Magic Sam Blues Band is widely considered a cornerstone of modern electric blues. Recorded for Delmark Records over two sessions in 1967, the album bridged the gap between raw Chicago blues and the burgeoning soul movement. Magic Sam’s voice is described as "soul-injected" and "impassioned," blending the phrasing of soul icons like Sam Cooke with traditional blues grit. His playing is celebrated for its "blistering" solos and unique use of reverb and tremolo, which gave the album a modern, almost surf-rock influenced vibe.
