Mighty Sam Mcclain
"Soul Survivor"
Audioquest AQ-cD 1053
This 13 song "Best of" compilation contains 11 of Sam's best
songs from
his four Audioquest cds, plus 2 previously unreleased tracks. If you
caught Sam's performance at this years Tampa Bay Blues Fest and didn't
immediately run out and buy one of his recordings, this is your chance
to get a sampler of what he has to offer.
This set includes some of my personal
favorites: New Man in Town, What
You Want Me To Do and Give It Up To Love. You won't
find another singer
that pours their heart and soul into their music like this. Sam sings
his life story with passion and conviction. He uses a band with horns
and wailing Hammond B3 that give a huge, full sound.
These songs will just wet your appetite
for more. I can assure you that
this is just the tip of the iceburg of Sam's material. You'll want
to
buy the individual cds to get the whole Mighty Sam Mcclain story.
