Mighty Sam McClain - Soul Survivor (1999) [2008 SACD]

Soul Survivor compiles the best material from Mighty Sam McClain's four Audioquest releases, all recorded during the 1990s, along with two previously unreleased tracks.

As much a soul singer as a bluesman, Sam McClain writes songs that are emotional and very personal. McClain has a powerful voice not unlike Otis Redding's or Bobby "Blue" Bland's. The strongest material here is on the second half of the 13-track CD, including the organ-propelled "What You Want Me To Do," the fast-paced and previously unreleased "I'm Gonna Love You," and the soul-blues tune "When The Hurt Is Over."
