I thought Trix was an American label (but I could be wrong). The "Medicine Show Man" CD (Trix CD 3302) was recently listed in the Red Lick catalog, but I've just checked the current catalog and they don't seem to have any Trix CDs in stock at the moment. Sam also played harp on a Trix CD by guitarist Henry Johnson (Johnson having palyed guitar on Sam's album).
Peg Leg Sam also did an album with Louisiana Red, called "Joshua" (not as good as "Medicine Show Man", IMO) - not sure, but I think it was on the Tomato label (Dutch, if I am not mistaken). I'll try and find some more details if anyone is interested. Sam (really name Arthur jackson) was an amazing blues player, as well as a great storyteller. If you are into trad blues harp, you shouldn't pass up any chance to hear him.
