Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - MAGIC SAM: The West Side Sound and the Blues That Got AwayOn the morning of December 1, 1969, Sam Maghett collapsed in his own home, three weeks after his thirty-second birthday - at the exact moment his career was finally catching up to his talent. A Stax contract was being negotiated. A European tour was on the calendar. Weeks earlier, he'd torn apart the Ann Arbor Blues Festival alongside Charlie Musselwhite. By afternoon, all of it was gone.This book tells the full story of the guitarist who built modern blues guitar's vocabulary out of a Mississippi childhood spent mostly outside the blues tradition - a hoedown fiddle culture, a homemade cigar-box guitar, a teenager who had to be taught to play 'real' blues after he arrived in Chicago. It follows him from Cobra Records' scrappy West Side studio, where he cut 'All Your Love' at twenty and never cracked the national charts, through a military prison sentence that nearly ended everything, to the two Delmark albums - West Side Soul and Black Magic - that finally captured him at full strength, just as a British blues boom built on his old labelmate's parallel hit was sending Eric Clapton and Peter Green back to the same Chicago studio Sam had recorded in.Built from club-owner memories, liner notes, and the testimony of the musicians who came up under him, this is the first book to give Magic Sam's short, unfinished career the full account it has always deserved - the guitar, the voice, the friendships, the setbacks, and the December morning that cut it short.Know the story. Hear the blues differently.…
