Recent R&B/Soul/Blues discs of merit--an ongoing series

James Cotton When I was a young buck, learning to appreciate the Blues, Mr. Cotton was just breaking out nationally/internationally. I've slowed down but he hasn't. He doesn't sing much anymore but that harp is as fiery and expressive as ever. The relevant quote from AMG: " Insatiable showman, blues singer and ace harp-man kept his high-energy act alive for over half a century" His newest is 2013's Cotton Mouth Man. Here's his discog--not all winners maybe but always with fire: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/james-cot...iscography Most/all from that disc + hey, how about some history?
