Along with Otis Rush and Buddy Guy, Sam developed a style combining soaring vocals and fiery guitar playing that became known as the West Side Sound. Recording singles for Cobra Records in 1957, Sam cut the first version of his classic All Your Love along with 21 Days in Jail, a storming slice of black rockabilly. A classic album that has become a cornerstone of many a blues collection, West Side Soul is a hot session that showcases Magic Sam’s modern approach to a set of covers, his rocking version of Sweet Home Chicago is definitive.
