THE JAMES COTTON BLUES BAND
JAMES COTTON harp & vocalALBERTO GIANGUINTO piano,
ROBERT ANDERSONbass & vocal, LUTHER TUCKER lead guitar, SAMUEL LAY drums plus Horns Section
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, Cotton's vocals are no longer what they used to be, but he remains a masterful instrumentalist.
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.
