Blues harp maestro James Cotton was 77 at the time of this
albums release. He can barely sing anymore, and the years of
playing and touring have left his voice a hoarse croak, but make
no mistake, he can still play the harp, and his stunning,
overdriven blasts on the instrument are as powerful and as
immediate as ever. Hes the living embodiment of the Chicago
blues, and one of the genres last surviving founders of it,
having mentored with the great Sonny Boy Williamson, and he
recorded, played, and toured with Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters,
cutting his first sides at the age of 19 for Chess Records. Hes
done this a long time, and as this delightful, joyous, stomping,
and vibrant set shows, he doesnt need to sing to command the
stage. Cotton wrote or co-wrote most of the songs here with the
albums producer, Tom Hambridge, and the vocals are handled by
guest artists, most of them by Darrell Nulisch, the former Texas
Heat and Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets vocalist who has been
handling the singing duties for Cottons band for some time now,
but Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes, Ruthie Foster, Delbert
McClinton, and Keb Mo are also featured singers. But this isnt
one of those duets albums that artists make in the twilight of
their careers by any shot — Cotton is amazing on these cuts, his
harp blasts full of passion, power, and enough pure energy to
light up the night sky. Cotton may not do somersaults on stage
anymore, but his harp lines do, weaving in and out of these songs
like a charging Chicago freight train. There isnt a single lame
cut here, but the closer, “Bonnie Blue,” with Cotton croaking out
a moving vocal accompanied only by his harp and the resonator
guitar playing of Colin Linden, is particularly poignant. Cotton
may be cruising in on 80 years of age, but hes just released one
of the best albums of his career.
