I hope you don't think that I assume you're stupid, because I most certainly don't. However, I never cease to be amazed at the number of people I run into (even people who say they love blues) who have never heard of this guy, much less heard this album. I don't understand how someone can be a fan of blues, or even just rock 'n roll, and have not heard this essential masterwork of brilliance and skill. There are just a handful of people in this world who are as talented as this man, and ordained by God to do what they do. What I mean is that everything about Magic Sam's work is flawless, but he makes it seem so easy. It just flows out of him like water and I just can't help but be impressed every time I listen to him. If this will be your first listen, prepare to be amazed. Get it RIGHT HERE!
