Special Show for March

There is a photograph of a man wearing overalls sitting on an old porch intently playing a harmonica. If you study the photograph you can feel the depth of the man's soul. The man is James Cotton. The porch is part of the commissary store on the plantation where he was born in Tunica, Mississippi. The depth of the man's soul can be heard on "Deep In The Blues" on Verve Records.Grammy Award - Best Traditional Blues Album - 1996
During the latter part of the last decade The James Cotton Trio - with Cotton on harmonica, David Maxwell on piano, Rico McFarland on guitar, and alternate singers, Mojo Buford and Darrell Nulisch - toured the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, and South America.The music was not as loud as it used to be. "We like to play what people can listen to and enjoy," Cotton says.
When one looks at Cotton's audience in his theatre, university, and festival venues, it consists of three generations - the youngest is usually holding a harp. My guess is Cotton finds that a beautiful sight.
Cotton has made three CDs on the Telarc label. "Fire Down Under The Hill" was released in March 2000. Recorded at the end of 2001 and released in May of 2002 "The 35th Anniversary Jam of The James Cotton Blues Band" received a Grammy nomination. Many of Cotton's friends are singing and playing with him honoring the 35 years since Cotton left Muddy's band to front his own band. His latest CD, "Baby, Don't You Tear My Clothes," has given Cotton the chance to branch out and play not only blues, but also, country and bluegrass - a great surprise to all! He is joined by a premier list of guests and friends. It was released in May 2004.
Cotton has always been known for having one of the best bands in the business. The members are: Slam Allen, guitar, vocals; Tom Holland, guitar, vocals; Noel Neal, bass; Kenny Neal, Jr., drums; and, of course, Superharp himself, James Cotton. His eyes light up when he talks about his band, "My audience always tells me how I'm doing. If I look out there and don't like what I see, I work harder." His audiences are still on their feet, they enjoy themselves as much as he does, and there are still standing ovations night after night. You will have a memorable evening with an international treasure and a true Living Legend of the Blues.
