MAGIC SAM
Crash 45rpm
No blues guitarist better represented the adventurous modern sound of Chicago's West side more proudly than Sam Maghett. He died tragically young (at age 32), right when he was on the brink of climbing the ladder to legitimate stardom -- but Magic Sam left behind a thick legacy of bone-cutting blues that remains eminently influential around his old stomping grounds to this day.
Mississippi Delta-born Sam Maghett (one of his childhood pals was towering guitarist Morris Magic Slim Holt, who received his Magic Slim handle from Sam). In 1950, Sam arrived in Chicago, picking up a few blues guitar pointers from his new neighbor, Syl Johnson. Harpist Shakey Jake Harris, sometimes referred to as the guitarist's uncle, encouraged Sam's blues progress and gigged with him later on, when both were West side institutions. [Bill Dahl, All Music Guide]
He cut a variety of great records for a nearly as wide variety of labels. Though critically well considered, they weren't popular enough to get into the charts and so now, are a bit on the obscure side. This is one of those that he released before his untimely death in December of 1969. The topside is "Out Of Bad Luck" and it's paired with "She Belongs To Me."
