Star-time hubris often seems to block Cotton from finding the joy and/or sadness in songs, but that's not the case here, when he's in the studio next to fellow luminaries Luther Tucker, Matt Murphy, Wayne Bennett, and Hubert Sumlin. The material has been chosen intelligently and performed effectively, highlighted by Cotton's rediscovery of early-1950s Sun gems "Straighten Up Baby" and "Hold Me in...

This is by far the very best blues harmonica cd that I have gotten this year, yes I know, I just finished a review of the new James Cotton CD too! James is the ol' BluzHarp Master while Steve Potter is a new age BluzMan that is doing a damned fine job of carrying on the torch. I had never heard of Steve Potter until he sent me this CD and I am simply amazed and excited as hell to finally get some...

Drawing from straightforward urban blues wailers like James Cotton as well as the blues-rock of the '80s, harpist Jordan Patterson delivers an uneven but intriguing album with Give Me A Chance. Patterson deserves some credit for trying to expand the boundaries of contemporary blues by adding harder rhythms and more complicated melodies but his execution often doesn't deliver the promise of his ideas....

Mitch's solo project, "Keeper Of The Flame" is Mitch's tribute to the blues masters that inspired his career. On it he plays piano and sings duets with John Lee Hooker, James Cotton, Johnnie Johnson (Chuck Berry), Earl King, and Lee Allen (Fats Domino). Hooker enjoyed these sessions so much that he asked Woods to join him in his own recording "Boom Boom". Cotton blasts and wails on harmonica, John...

The heavens opened over Jazzfest on Saturday causing several inches of ground water in many places and shortening the day by half an hour. It was a good day to be in the Blues Tent and that's where I stayed for most of the time. I arrived in time for sax legend Big Jay McNeely who didn't disappoint, honking his way around the front row of the crowd as well as on stage. I ventured out for a quick look...
