Getting rave reviews for the sound quality and the soul of the album. Getting mostly 5 out of 5's from all critics. This album was proudly mastered by Björn Engelmann. You get a combination that blends the best from two chapters of blues and soul music’s history. One chapter is about a singer who has “lived the blues” from the time he ran away from home in Louisiana 13 years old and has been “on the road” since then. The second chapter is about how blues music through rhythm ‘n blues and rock has reached several generations in Europe and created a unique style of play among countless guitarists who have then in turn sought their ideal musical roots.

A mighty American soul master, Mighty Sam McClain, and a lioness of Persian music, Mahsa Vahdat, meet a Norwegian human rights activist / producer, and sing a song of freedom.
The Iranian artist Mahsa Vahdat and the Norwegian producer and poet Erik Hillestad met each other through the project Lullabies from the Axis of Evil in 2003. Their cooperation in the many projects led to a meeting between Erik and the Iranian poet and painter Mohammad Ebrahim Jafari. Together with Mahsa the two made a poetic workshop of dialogue during one week in Venice in Southern France in December 2008. This exchanging of ideas became texts for love duets, and the words were given music by Mahsa Vahdat, the Norwegian composers Sigvart Dagsland, Knut Reiersrud and Jarle Bernhoft through the sping of 2009. The recordings featuring vocals from Mahsa and blues legend Mighty Sam McClain happened in Norway, USA, and Iran from April through July 2009.

This compilation that spans genres and generations shines its spotlight on homelessness, showing that the problem remains as pervasive as ever. In collaboration with the Give Us Your Poor organization at the UMass Boston, the Appleseed folk label has paired artists like Bon Jovi with the down-home soul of Mighty Sam McClain, Bruce Springsteen with Pete Seeger and Michelle Shocked with Michael Sullivan, her longtime friend and a formerly homeless Vietnam vet. Natalie Merchant, Bonnie Raitt, and Dan Zanes are among the other artists who team with singers who are or have been homeless.

This is a marvelous album that reminds you of classic soul, ala Al Green and the Memphis Stax sound, without sounding retro or dated. McClain has a commanding voice, writes great songs, and can assemble a fine band. "Mighty" is right.

For sheer vocal command nobody can beat Sam McClain's red-clay roar. He's riveting, whether slowly chewing the syllables of the country-flavored soul ballad "Learn How to Love You Again" or bending words of devotion into breathy melismatic arches on "Here I Come Again," one of the many songs here that allude to McClain's deep spiritual convictions. Like all the songs on his six 1990s CDs, these are his diary pages. They refer to his childhood escape from an abusive home, his days on skid row, and the comeback that has put him at the apex of the traditional soul-blues world, second only to his idol, Bobby "Blue" Bland. McClain even revisits Patsy Cline's "Sweet Dreams," which he first made an R&B hit in 1966. Unlike the big, exuberant, horns 'n' rhythm sound of Aretha-era Muscle Shoals soul that typifies the rest of this album, his "Dreams" sticks to a spare piano and guitar framework, providing McClain the space to dig so far into his heart we can hear it beating within the tearful shake of his voice. It's high drama--proof that after nearly a half century of struggle, this mighty singer is living his own sweet dreams. --Ted Drozdowski

Track Listing:

All those young up-and-comers who think they know how to sing R&B and soul should really get themselves a dose of Mighty Sam McClain. The man waited years to record any albums (though there were a few singles in the 1960s), but it's been worth the wait. Blues for the Soul is McClain's first for Telarc Records, and it's a near-perfect debut. The slower, lazier songs are ideal for the heat of summer, but one could just as easily imagine listening to McClain in a dark, smoky nightclub in November. His voice is strong, but so smooth that at first you don't notice, and his backing band knows exactly how to support him; they're tight and on the money, but never overwhelming. McClain's perspective is quirky, yet mature, as exemplified by "Jesus Got the Blues" and "Sweet Lady" (in the latter, he sings the praises of smart women--recognizing that beauty's a transient thing, but brains last a lifetime). While there's no doubt he's passionate about his music, McClain's solid record is all the more appealing for its unassuming presentation. --Genevieve Williams

Mighty Sam McClain's Soul Survivor CD is a "best of," 11 tracks that have been on his last four studio albums plus two unissued tracks, make up this welcome release for anybody new to Sam. A lot of smaller record companies have to try to make ends meet, so after about 4 albums, they bring out a "Best of," which is an excellent way to catch up with an artist or develop a "get to know" the artist. Enjoy!

Track Listing:

This is one of my favorites (a classic) the more you listen the better it gets.the band is as tight as it get's, very strong as you listen you wait for a bad tune there is'nt one. the guitar is exelent as for the horns witch i am not real big on can't be matched. the vocals are awsome i can't get enough of this one. i have over 1,000 blues cd's and this is a real stand out.i have 8 of his cd's this is my favorite just buy it you will be amazed.alsoit is over an hour of pure blues live in germany.

The sustained comeback of soul man Mighty Sam McClain, who first recorded for Amy in 1966 is among the most heartening of musical stories. Journey ... is a finely polished gem.

Track Listing:

Great music combined with excellent audio quality on this Audioquest CD!One of Mighty Sam's best albums, and probably my best blues-CD besides "Keep On Movin'", also from him. The fantastic recording quality brings out his powerful voice and all nuances of modulation for one of the rare sound experiences that not too many productions are able to present us, unfortunately. Listen to Joe Golindo's blues trombone on track 2, to Bruce Katz's ecstatic piano "rumbling" in the lowest tones on the keyoard on track 5 "When the Hurt is Over", then you know what I mean. The band is an excellent companion for Mighty Sam, probably the best ensemble he had among all of his albums. Listen to his dialogue with the band on track 4 and track 11 "Bridge of Faith". It's a superb album - one that I never get tired of listening to!Finally a warning: it's not for background listening - you got to take your time to listen to this album and really enjoy it, but it's worth it.

I bought this album after hearing "A Soul That's Been Abused" at a hi-fi show in the UK.
It's the first time I've ever been in a room full of people where EVERYONE was in silent awe after a track had finished. Instead of checking out the hi-fi they were asking "Who was THAT!?"

The track is just one gem in a diamond mine of an album.

Mighty has lived the blues and his way of testifying to the fact draws you in.

Buy this album and you will be converted to the cause.
-Stephen Paul Honisett

Track Listing:

Rhythm & Blues legend Mighty Sam McClain's first release for AQM received every possible accolade including Pulse! Magazine's Blues Album of the Year for 1993. "The Great Torch bearer of deep soul."--Rolling Stone. "One of the great soul records, Recording of the Month."--Stereophile.

Track Listing:

A sophisticated bluesman in the tradition of Bobby "Blue" Bland or Joe Williams, Mighty Sam McClain had not recorded in some 13 years when he cut a demo of song called "Pray" in 1984. The demo attracted the attention of a Japanese promoter, who subsequently coordinated the Japanese tour from which this live album, recorded in Tokyo, is culled. Despite the presence of ace session guitarist Wayne Bennett, McClain's backing band is sub-standard and lifeless; few moments generate any heat.

4 Fannie Mae
5 Why
6 Your Perfect Companion
7 In The Same Old Way

10 Whatever It Takes
11 Forgive And Forget
12 Dancin To The Music Of Love
13 This time I'm Gone For Good
14 I Just Came to Get My Baby (Out of Jail)
15 The Blus Is Alright

"The original 5-songs from the 1986 vinyl release with an added sixth track, the 1984 single release Pray. Your Perfect Companion brings a New Orleans flavor to the blues, with a gruff forcefulness that underlines the syncopated rhythms."

Track Listing:

“Mighty Sam McClain validates his stage moniker every time he opens his mouth. Few Soul singers boast the prodigious pipes of this powerhouse, whose 1966-1969 sides for Amy Records (domestically reissued for the first time on this disc—rank among the southern soul genre’s most sensational statements.”
