Mighty Sam McClain proves one thing, that you're never too old to play the
blues. At 60, he released One More Bridge To Cross (2003), an album
that would include him as part of
The WSVNRadio Hall Of Fame, Volume 9. "Thought I Heard Your Voice"
would be the chosen track for this volume, and his music truly defines great
blues and gospel, heard on One More Bridge To Cross.
For those who enjoy the blues and even gospel, this album should not be
overlooked. Every song on this album is truly outstanding. The album starts
out with the slow blues number, "Why Do We Have To Say Goodbye," a song
that Eric Clapton fans would enjoy (most notably from his album From The
Cradle. "Witness" is a great driving blues tune, featuring Mighty
Sam's unique strong voice. "Open Up Heaven's Door" has a great gospel
touch. Robert Cray fans will enjoy the next track, "If It Wasn't 4 Da
Blues."
The slow blues (and very entertaining), "Most Of All" is another
great blues tune to listen to, where "Are You Ready For Love" has a
funky blues groove grit. The continuing slow blues of "Been There Done
That" keeps the listening listening for more of the Mighty Sam.
"What's Your Name" keeps the funky groove going, as in Santana's
"Smooth." "Thought I Heard Your Voice" is one of those songs
that is never tiring.
"The Other Man In The Band" keeps it flowing with its great slow
blues style. "Sweet Honey Bee" is truly a sweet rockin' bluesy tune,
likewise "Don't Leave Me Behind" has the Robert Cray feel, and the
title track.
The blues is defined greatly with Mighty Sam McClain. Many blues artists
fans of Clapton, Cray and others will enjoy McClain's music. His biography is
quite interesting, as he started performing at an early age, and still continues
to record great blues records. Check out his website, at

He's recorded 4 albums as shown on his main page, and they're all I'm sure worth
checking out. One More Bridge To Cross is a good start, and worth the
