about

Grammy nominated for 2010 Traditional Blues Album Of The Year! The blues harp master returns to Alligator! A straight-up shot of James Cotton at his hard-blowing best, backed by his tight, road-tested touring band. The spotlight shines directly on Cotton’s ferocious playing and huge sound throughout, as he fires up the band for an exhilarating collection of breathless boogies, infectious shuffles and sweet, simmering blues. "Among the greats of all time, He blazes on harp with brilliant virtuosity,"--Rolling Stone
