JAMES COTTON BLUES BAND – Pure Cotton
format: digipack CD
UPC: 8013252913327 (CD)
A member of the Blues Hall of Fame and one of the greatest harmonica players the world has ever known, James “Superharp” Cotton learned to play harmonica at an early age from none other than Sonny Boy Williamson. By the time he had reached the ripe old age of 17 he had already cut 4 songs for Sun Records and had his own radio show! Then in 1954 blues legend Muddy Waters famously offered him a spot in his band and Cotton went on to play with Muddy for 12 years. His first record as bandleader, however, was not released until 1967, on Verve.
Pure Cotton, also on Verve, was released the following year and here Cotton, age 33, finally gets a chance to stretch out and be himself (meaning, he gets down and dirty and plays that harp like his ass was on fire, sometimes even blowing the keys out of the instrument)!
