Sam’s Singing and playing have their roots deeply implanted in the Mississippi soil of his youth as well as in the traumatic everyday life of the raw West Side. But like all good blues and all great art, he reaches far beyond his ethnic origins and his everyday experiences and speaks for us all.

That is why you will like this album regardless of your previous taste if you are reasonably “aware,” “hip,” “turned-on” or whatever your generation’s slang may be for being in touch with humanity and life.

Copies are available for purchase in a half-track format recorded at 15ips (IEC) on two ten-inch reels housed in two cardboard boxes with UV-coated cover art and liner information, then inside a cardboard slipcase.

Copies are also available in a quarter-track format recorded at 7.5ips on one seven-inch reel housed in a cardboard box with UV-coated cover art and liner information.
