▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ There are harp players and there are harp players. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ And then there is James Cotton. Nearly 70 years ▓▌
▓████▓▌ old, Cotton is too old to quit now and too talented ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to let old age get in the way of his performances. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Still a fixture on the road, Cotton plied his craft ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with Muddy Waters for a dozen years before striking ▓▌
▓████▓▌ out on his own. He also worked with Sonny Boy ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Williamson, who guided Cotton through the blues ▓▌
▓████▓▌ when Cotton was only nine years old. Now, Cotton ▓▌
▓████▓▌ has decided to pull his own version of Santana's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Supernatural out of his hat. Assisted by friends ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and admirers ranging from Doc and Merle Watson to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Dave Alvin to Odetta and Jim Lauderdale, Cotton ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lets his mouth organ do the talking, starting off ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with "Coach's Better Days", a number that is part ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Southern blues and part ragtime jazz. It's a good ▓▌
▓████▓▌ starter as Cotton and his supporting cast seemed to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ get warmed up for what's about to come. Musicians ▓▌
▓████▓▌ are also allowed a brief solo to show their chops ▓▌
▓████▓▌ while the song fades out as nicely as it got going. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The title track features Bobby Rush on vocal and is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ definitely more in tune with Cotton's blues side, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ although it ventures somewhat down a dusty country ▓▌
▓████▓▌ barroom path. Cotton is basically pushed aside ▓▌
▓████▓▌ though to Rush's vocals, providing some accents at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the end of each line before given some time to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shine between verses. It's a pedestrian stroll or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ambling ditty but is still catchy nonetheless. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cotton kicks into another gear with the promising ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and toe tapping "When You Got A Good Friend" thanks ▓▌
▓████▓▌ primarily to the vocals of Marcia Ball. "I ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mistreated my baby and I can't see no reason why / ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Everytime I think about it I just wring my hands ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and cry," she sings as the bass and drums propel ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the tune along nicely. Perhaps the first true ▓▌
▓████▓▌ highlight is the slower and far bluesier "Stealin', ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Stealin'" which has Chris Gaffney on harmony vocal ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as Dave Alvin leads on vocal and guitar. It has a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lot in common with the arrangement the Rolling ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Stones used on "The Spider and the Fly". ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ It seems that the slower the song, the longer ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cotton has time to strut his wares on the album. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nowhere is this more evident than on the gorgeous ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Keys to the Highway" which features Odetta giving ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a fine performance. Cotton is more prominent on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ this song, whether it's through longer blows or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ subtle but pretty notes played during her vocals. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ This leads into the instrumental "I Almost Lost My ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mind" originally written by Ivory Joe Hunter. The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ only miscue appears on "Rainin' in My Heart" which ▓▌
▓████▓▌ has C.J. Chenier on vocals, almost overdoing it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ time and again on the lead. The structures of these ▓▌
▓████▓▌ songs are well versed in the blues and it shows ▓▌
▓████▓▌ effortlessly. Perhaps the best of the lot is Jim ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Lauderdale's take on "Bring It on Home to Me", ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which is part blues and part slow dance. You know ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that Cotton is chomping at the bit to get into the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tune but patience is bliss. The warble on the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ harmonica is also a bonus. The oddest tune is Peter ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rowan contributing yodels and a country charm to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Muleskinner Blues", although the shuffle in it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ makes it bearable. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cotton seems to get the best out of those who he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ has selected for the album, including a very ▓▌
▓████▓▌ acoustic-oriented and bare bones Doc and Merle ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Watson doing "How Long Blues". Cotton does very ▓▌
▓████▓▌ little on the song, except getting the song going ▓▌
▓████▓▌ before the duo start. "Mississippi Blues" features ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rory lock on vocals and guitar, sounding eerily ▓▌
▓████▓▌ like fellow blues songstress Bonnie Raitt. "Don't ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Delta look lonesome when that evenin' sun goes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ down," she sings as David Maxwell tickles the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ivories. Cotton rounds the album out with the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ appropriately titled "Friends" which have helped ▓▌
▓████▓▌ him on this album. He won't see Santana's sales, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ though, but fans and Cotton will have just as much ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fun listening to and performing the tracks. ▓▌
