magic sam

if you think blues is boring, watch the late samuel maghett (r.i.p.) tear it up on earl hooker's gtr. (you gotta stick with it till the second song.) his west side soul alb is essential, but he never got down like this on rekkid. hooray for right-hand muting!

Magic Sam is one of the greats for sure. I had the good fortune to hear him about half a dozen times when I was at U of Wisconsin years ago, but it's been so long that I'd forgotten he was so much even better (sic) live than he was on the few studio recordings I've still got. Thanks a ton for posting this video.
