One of my favorite bluesmen of what was called the "West Side" sound from Chicago. Today is 1 Dec 2009, Magic Sam died on this day 40 years ago at age 32. A life cut short as was Earl Hooker. Sam you would have been a young 72 today. We miss you but have your music you left behine for others to enjoy.
Yes - I confirm this words ! I`ve seen him ....Sam oct 1969 live in Stuttgart, spoke some words in the pause with him .... can never forget, because was a young guitar player (23) .... regards to all friends of him !!! manfred/austria
Sam + Otis Rush + Freddie King + Bo + BB + Donald Duck + Colonel Steve + Hooker + Sam&Dave + Blues Bros + Clapton + the 3 Kings + .... = What A Wonderful World
Presley sang Tha's all right and made an explosion in Memphis where was a relay point from Delta to Chicago. The greater B.B. King sublimed the heart of Delta through an inovation of Blues by T-Bone's electric guitar.
Okay, yes the amplified sound makes it Chicago West Side Blues, but the structure of the song is rooted in the Delta and West Africa. I like how the form of the music survived and entertains us today. Thanks Amiee1997.
For fuck sakes, thank you dad so god damn very much for teaching your son who is now 38 the greatest of all music, which is jazz an blues, and obviously Classiclal music; but when you grow up poor, the blues is the greatest of all to get into the mood to do something about it.
It's amplified Delta music......with homage to John Lee Hooker and Dr. Ross. Sam was originally from Mississippi, as lots of folks in Chicago are. 5/5*
I would define what Chicago blues was a style andmodernized and established by bucks Otis Rush and Magic Sam, Buddy Guy who were followed guitar play of T-Bone and B.B.King.
superagnitio on the south side Chicago lived old folks like Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker etc. They're style was couple of notes and chord based on the 12 bar. They use to play sit, not jumping up the scene or pick up the guitar up head. Meanwhile on the West Side lived youngsters like Magic Sam, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy etc. It was same old blues, but with solo improvisation and minor chord. They did all kinds of tricks: tremolo, beat the strings, play guitar on the back, screaming, jump into audience, dance with guitar. West siders have more impression and wild energy.
Sad not a lot of Blacks can't stand the Blues. Me, being a Black person, it saddened me. I love the Blues. The younger generation hates it. This is great stuff makes me proud of our music share by many! 💕😊
I wonder if it was a countermovement against rich white rock'n rollers by imitating Blues that Blues men who were subject to Chalie Patton, Sun House, Robert Johnson like Howlin' Wolf and Elmore to have made for Chicago from Memphis, Muddy directly to do for from Mississippi blared their Blues by an electric amplification and a band formation in the din of congestion Chicago.
@gollincho Dude. Don't disrespect these late and great black artists by calling them by the derogatory moniker, "buck". Perhaps you are too old to know better, but I'm around 40 yrs old and even I understand that this is a racial slur. I know you probably didn't intend it as a racist comment.....but rest assured, I guarantee that the children and grandchildren of these great bluesmen would not feel honored by that name that you chose to call them.
Magic Sam deserves to be regarded as one of the best singer/songwriter/players in blues history.

I think Sam would have been a huge star had he lived. Like Buddy Guy.

Jimmy Rogers song?? F*****G GREAT!!!!
I could be wrong, but this has a delta sound. The music follows the voice. What do you think?
One person doesn't wanna boogie.
could you explain more about the west side sound of chicago and all that? Thank you!
