Editor's Info:
One of the greatest blues albums of all time, West Side Soul was chosen by Living Blues magazine as One of it's Top Ten Desert Island Blues Discs. The new digipak case contains previously unissued photos and 1960s pluggers (promoting west side gigs) from the private collection of Bill Lindemann. The source material for the CD is now the original 1967 analog stereo mix by Stu Black who recorded many of Delmark's classic 1960s blues and jazz recordings. Complete original 1967 notes by Bob Koester and Bill Lindemann enclosed. With Mighty Joe Young, guitar; Stockholm Slim, piano; Earnest Johnson or Mack Thompson, bass; Odie Payne Jr. or Odie Payne III, drums.
Rolling Stone
"...Sam's music represents the interaction of Memphis soul, gospel-influenced Detroit pop-soul, and the standard Mississippi-cum Chicago scheme....He is an expert song stylist; his voice is capable of changing form in mid-note--like B.B. King when he's really got it on..."

Down Beat - 4.5 stars out of 5
"This monument of Chicago blues finds Sam grounding his thrillingly high singing and his cataclysmic guitar riffs in life experiences..."

Down Beat - 5 Stars - Excellent
"..his vibrant singing and rollicking boogie guitar made converts among rock fans..."

Record Collector - 4 stars out of 5
"Throughout, Sam mixes the clarity of BB KINg with the aggression of Buddy Guy and some of the loose funk of Albert King."
