Magic Sam -- Mama, Mama - Talk To Your Daughter

Happy birthday to Samuel Maghett, who didn't even make it to thirty-five but left behind a body of work that is still being raided for cover versions by aspiring blues performers. "Talk to Your Daughter" is probably his best-known work. It is an example of the type of "sweet" blues that the casual listener may not even recognize as a blues song, like Ivory Joe Hunter's "Since I Met You Baby." Magic Sam was a product of the west side of Chicago, and the distinctions between the West Side style and the South Side blues of musicians like Muddy Waters has probably already been the subject of a few dissertations.
