Editorial Reviews

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD

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 Your Arms." Even the leader's scorched vocals get over. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

5.0 out of 5 stars All Star Cast!, November 9, 2008

Steven Jay (Denver CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mighty Long Time (Audio CD)

Although the titles are all familiar, Cotton and his all-star cohorts (guitarists Jimmie Vaughan, Matt Murphy, Luther Tucker, Hubert Sumlin, Derek O'Brien and Wayne Bennett, the omnipresent Perkins on keys, Mark Kaz Kazanoff, Willie Smith, George Rains, Calvin Jones, and others) pull the whole thing off beautifully. Cotton's cover of Wolf's "Moanin' at Midnight" is remarkably eerie in its own right, and he romps through Muddy Waters' "Blow Wind Blow" and "Sugar Sweet" with joyous alacrity.
