Blues for Aficionados

Magic Sam

WEST SIDE SOUL

Delmark Records   1967

Notes: "Samuel Maghett was born February 14, 1937 on a farm in central Mississippi, eight miles east of Granada.  Bt the time he was thirteen, like most other kids his age, he was doing a full day's work, but found time to start learning how to play the guitar by stretching strings tied to nails driven into a wall in a manner similar to Big Joe Williams' primitive one-string guitar.  The Maghett family got its first taste of big-city life when the moved to Chicago in 1950."
