West Side Soul is the debut studio album by Chicago blues musician Magic Sam.

Released by Delmark Records in 1968, it is often cited as one of the key modern electric blues albums.

[4][5][6] The album includes a re-recording of Magic Sam's first Cobra Records single, "All Your Love" (1957), and an updated "Sweet Home Chicago", which became a popular blues anthem.

Blues historian Jim O'Neal wrote in the induction statement: Magic Sam's soaring vocals and sparkling guitar work enliven the remake of his own Cobra classic "All Your Love," propulsive boogies, and covers of nuggets from Little Milton, Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, and others.

Sam's "Sweet Home Chicago" is one of the best versions ever recorded, long before the song became the overdone sing-along theme of every Windy City blues band.
