James Cotton - Late Night Blues (Live at the New Penelope Café - 1967) '1978

Tracks list

At his high-energy, 1970s peak as a bandleader, James Cotton was a bouncing,
sweaty, whirling dervish of a bluesman, roaring his vocals and all but sucking
the reeds right out of his defenseless little harmonicas with his prodigious
lung power. Due to throat problems during his latter years, Cotton's vocals were
no longer what they used to be, but he remained a masterful instrumentalist for
decades. Cotton had some gargantuan shoes to fill when he stepped into Little
Walter's slot as Muddy Waters' harp ace in 1954, but for the next dozen years,
the young Mississippian filled the integral role beside Chicago's blues king
with power and precision. Of course, Cotton had been preparing for such a career
move for a long time, having learned how to wail on harp from none other than
Sonny Boy Williamson himself.
