Bred on vintage blues, jazz and folk music, Samoa Wilson possesses a fresh, yet classic voice that wraps itself around timeless material like a warm blanket. Her debut, Live the Live, reflects Wilson's impeccable taste in traditional American music. After the release of the Now And Again album by the Jim Kweskin Band which featured Samoa Wilson's vocals on four tracks, we received numerous inquiries about Samoa's stunning performances. The next natural step is Samoa's first album, Live The Life, recorded with the Jim Kweskin Band, which includes eight solo Samoa tracks, two duets with Jim Kweskin and two Jim Kweskin Band instrumentals.
