2.0 out of 5 stars
wonderful records he did when he was a complete superstar, January 29, 2006

Just can't love it. It isn't that it isn't world class Chicago blues harmonica, but that it's not as good as anything James Cotton did before throat cancer took his voice, because it doesn't have his powerful, downhome vocals and "Got to th'ow down right now" phrasing alongside the harmonica wizardry. Instead, it has a touch of what must have been extremely painful Cotton vocals and a lot of big name guest singing that, to this critic, puts James Cotton in a sideman role he is too good for.
Honor James Cotton. Honor him by buying the string of wonderful records he did when he was a complete superstar.
