James Cotton - Two Sides Of The Blues
Review by Ron Coleman
Two Sides of the Blues by James Cotton is a captivating album that showcases the musician's versatility and talent. The album features a blend of traditional blues and modern interpretations, creating a unique and dynamic listening experience.
Cotton's harmonica playing is exceptional and is complemented by the talented musicians who accompany him on the album. The tracks range from upbeat and energetic to slow and soulful, with each song telling a story that captures the essence of the blues.
One standout track is "Blues for the Hook," which features a catchy melody and showcases Cotton's impressive harmonica skills. The album also includes a cover of the classic blues song "How Blue Can You Get," which Cotton delivers with a raw and emotional performance.

Summary by Ron Coleman
Comments
He got so good that he sounded terrible. He didn’t know when to stop and didn’t know what to do.
Kingfish need to listen to this
たまらん
Fuck Kim Wilson, Rick Estrin and Jason Ricci ? Superharp the best
I think he might've been on drugs a little bit
One of the best blues harmonica performances ever! He played it hard, and loud, and with more feel than anyone else. Every time my harp teacher tells me to ply softer, I respond with, “But James Cotton…” Often emulated, never duplicated. A true legend of his craft.
Espectacular
love his harp playing
Just awesome
Have Mercy!!!
I think he did pretty good .
Legend!!!!
Makes me feel so damn happy!
Yes Yes that’s it…..
Room To Move ..the very first James Cotton song I heard waaay back in 1971…this song is..very cool …thanks…peace
Back in ‘75 went to see Peter Frampton with Johnny Winter, James Cotton opened up…and even tho Peter Frampton was promoting his Comes Alive tour, I was blown away by The James Cotton Band…my introduction to the blues ?
Feel so priviliged to have shook his hand he was such a gentleman.. ?
That band was tight too.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The sweat is literal proof that he felt this...and played this...from his heart! RIP good man!!
Fuck this man is hurting
