Cotton domesticated by Haden & Walker ;-)

I tripped over "Deep in the Blues", when I was looking for some Charlie Haden recordings - and had found Cotton!
The voice of James Cotton is one of course with the most original, the genre has to offer. However, I can warm up fully for only a few shots with Cotton because many recordings seem to be lacking precisely this intimacy (Thom Owens calls the shots with Cotton "overproduced", which it pretty well in my opinion applies), which here is a very simple and direct scene imprinted.

I want to Cotton never do wrong, but here (august 1995) seems to me to worry Charlie Haden as ur-old large tree for shade meditative in which Cotton, Walker and David Maxwell occasionally a piece of Blues live.

Hardly know a recording where Haden reduced - or reducing? - Would have worked. Very great!

The picture that emerges with most numbers of this album in me: Since three sitting quite calmly Large privately on a Southern porch and while away the time taciturn. And I sit a little apart and am trying the action to interfere as little as possible, in the hope that it may last much longer. The picture is of course pretty cheesy, but after only 57 minutes, it is unfortunately not this to end ...

The recording quality can - one might almost say: of course at this lineup - no questions unanswered.
