Sammy's imaginative slide playing has appeared on works by an incredible range of artists, including Jim Capaldi, Rod Stewart, Uncle Dog (featuring Carol Grimes) and The Who (the full list is much more extensive), while in his lifetime he was called the UK's finest slide guitarist. Born April 21 1950 in Liverpool, where he grew up, his dad was a professional Hawaiian/jazz guitarist, and a member of Felix Mendelssohn's Hawaiian Serenaders. Sammy began his career in 1966 playing folk clubs in Liverpool and then Brighton, before gravitating to London. He was inspired by the sound of Robert Johnson to take up slide guitar, and while playing in a London folk club he was discovered by Rod Stewart and Long John Baldry. His slide style reached an international audience with appearances on Rod Stewart's albums "Gasoline Alley" (1970) and "Every Picture Tells A Story" (1971). A foreshortened live set by The Sam Mitchell Blues Band featured in BBC TV's "Sight and Sound in Concert"

At first glance it might seem strange that singer/guitarist Sam Mitchell, who originally hailed from Liverpool, should have released his first record in the USA. But anyone familiar with Sam's bottleneck playing will know that he can hold his own with any of his American colleagues in the field of folk- and country-blues. With its stinging slide work and punchy rhythms, this 1976 release is a real treat for all fans of blues and bottleneck guitar.
