What's Hot
EricTheWearyEricTheWeary Frets: 16253
only just noticed that superharp died a day ago, age 81. 
James played with Muddy Waters and live and on record with a long list of notable musicians including the Greatful Dead, Janis Joplin , Steve Miller. 
His own band with Matt Guitar Murphy (the guitarist in the Blues Brothers who wasn't Steve Cropper and one of the finest guitarists I've ever seen live)was one of the great modern Chicago blues bands. I shall dig my copy of Live at Electric Lady out tomorrow. 
Very powerful harmonica player, RIP James.

    That's a real shame - I misread the thread title and thought it said James Corden RIP....

    Sad news. Along with Big Walter Horton, Sonny Terry, and Little Walter, James Cotton was one of the main reasons I got into Blues harp years ago. Great Player....I learned a lot from him.
