The second solo album by James Cotton, the one time harp disciple of Sonny Boy Williamson and former Muddy Waters sideman, is a loose, enjoyable mixture of urbane and gutbucket blues styles. Among the former, Cotton phrases like a sax player (but gets a sound like Little Walter) on Percy Mayfield's classy ballad "River's Invitation," while on Jimmy Reed's standard "Honest I Do" he goes (appropriately) all country harp squeaky.
Cotton's vocals have all the swagger necessary for the material. The fairly large back-up band here is fluent enough to pull off a slow, jazzy, ballad version of Little Richard's "Slippin' and Slidin'."
Recorded at Coast Recording, San Francisco, California in April 1968.
Personnel: James Cotton (vocals, harmonica); Guitar Junior, Peter Malick, James Cook (guitar); Martin Fierro (tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone); Mike Fender (bass trumpet, bass trombone); Wayne Talbert (piano, organ); Michael Tschudin (piano); Jeremiah Jenkins (organ); Joe Rodriguez (drums).

James Cotton Cut You Loose! Songs Cut You Loose! Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  James Cotton and Wayne Talbert
I believe that this is the only recorded documentation of Wayne Talbert, an excellent piano player who adds a unique flavor to one of my favorite blues singers/harp players, James Cotton. If this record is not already in your collection buy it and enjoy one of the very best of James Cottons records. Highly recommended!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. A classic blues (jazz) (r&b) album!
I agree w/ previous poster, and then some. I've known this album since its release in the sixties, re-bought it recently, and never seem to tire of it. The back-up musicians are phenomenal, and include pianist Wayne Talbert (who also did the horn charts) and his group, The Melting Pot. This album covers a lot of ground, blues - country and urban, rhythm and blues, and jazz. And all of it is very tasty and powerfully well performed. The song choices are great, Cotton's vocal interpretations are spot-on, and the music just flows naturally. Talbert also recorded with Doug Sahm, and some their work is equally far-ranging, with songs that begin as rock-tinged R&B and end up as pure jazz. I'd give this one six stars if I could.

| | Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-74) CDs (1990)
Cut You Loose! CD music
$15.95
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos.
This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up ...

$9.79  
This outstanding solo debut came at a particularly successful and creative time for Stephen Stills. In the first few years of the 1970s, he recorded two solo albums, released the superb Manassas double-album, and performed as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. No one would expect a musician spreading himself so thin to be able to make a record as focused, nuanced, and bursting with ideas as STEPHEN STILLS-- yet that is exactly what Stills did. ...
