Description

Blues guitarist and singer (1937-1969). Sam gained a following before being drafted into the Army. Not a natural soldier, Sam deserted after a couple of weeks' service and was subsequently caught and sentenced to six months imprisonment. He was given a dishonourable discharge on release, but the experience had undermined his confidence and career. Program from the 1969 American Blues Festival, 11 x 10, signed inside in black felt tip on his full page image, “Magic Sam.” Program is also signed in ink and felt tip by Juke-Boy Bonner, Clifton Chenier, John Jackson, Alex Moore, Carey Bell, and Earl Hooker. In fine condition, with some scattered light creases and handling wear. R&R COA.
