I Found a New Love

West Side Soul is not an album that sounds like a historical document, but rather something that remains alive. It sounds like blues that never ages: it’s not nostalgia, it’s pure energy pulsating in every note. That’s the detail that makes it stand out: the album doesn’t repeat formulas, it reinvents them. For example, I Found a New Love isn’t just another song on the tracklist; it’s an unexpected twist amid classics like All Your Love (which Magic Sam himself had already recorded a decade earlier) and a refreshed version of Sweet Home Chicago. It doesn’t sound like museum blues, but like something recorded in haste, as if every chord had to capture the exact moment.
