One of the first blues shows I attended - it must have been back in maybe 1975 or so - was Muddy Waters at the old Ontario Place Forum, a venue with first come first serve seating, grassy hills behind the seats to picnic on and a revolving stage. Opening for Muddy was The James Cotton Band. I was listening to Muddy Waters at the time but all I knew about James Cotton was that he was a harp player who had played in Muddy's band for a number of years.
Muddy was excellent, and what a treat it was to see this legend in action. But it was the James Cotton Band that blew me away. This was a really intense high-energy outfit with a fantastic sound. It wasn't until much later that I found out that Cotton learned harp living with the master, Sonny Boy Williamson and was immersed in that 50s Memphis sound.
