This is a sort of back-to-the-roots release from the veteran blues harp wizard. Two of the songs, "Hold Me in Your Arms," which has a "Mystery Train" feel, and "Straighten Up Baby," one of several cuts here featuring guitarist Jimmy Vaughan, were originally recorded by James Cotton in the early '50s at Sun Records.
There are also two drummerless numbers featuring legendary Howlin' Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin; the reading here of Sunny Boy Williamson's "Moanin' at Midnight" is particularly spooky and atmospheric. Other highlights include a nicely minimalist version of Bobby Bland's "Call it Stormy Monday," and the Little Walter-ish instrumental "Northside Cadillac," where Cotton trades jazzy licks with Matt "Guitar" Murphy.
Digitally remastered edition of this album from the Blues great, originally released in 1997. James Cotton's long career began way back in the '50s where he studied harmonica at the house of Sonny Boy Williamson and recorded his debut single with Sam Phillips' Sun Records. He played and recorded with the great Muddy Waters and made his debut album for Vanguard in the mid '60s. He made Mighty Long Time for the Antones label in 1997, which features an all-star backing band that includes Jimmie Vaughan from The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins, Luther Tucker and Wayne Bennett. 13 tracks. Floating World. 2009.

Vu Jah De'" is Johnny Roth's long awaited second CD release since his 2003 album titled "still not talkin'". It consists of 8 all original instrumental tracks.Vu Jah De' review by Peter HundFans of Allman Brothers Band instrumentals are guaranteed to love this tastefully executed instrumental electric guitar album with plenty of slide. But besides the southern-rock vibe, Pennsylvania-based Roth impressively channels jazz masters such as Larry Carlton and Lee Ritenour and, to a lesser extent but just as effectively, funk greats like Steve Cropper and Leo Nocentelli.Southern rock is foremost among Roth’s ...

In the summer of 2001, Discover Card ran a Behind the Music parody of an '80s hair metal band called Danger Kitty who crashed and burned, spending all their money within the span of two years (they were a little wrong on the timing, claiming that the band hit it big in 1984, two and a half to three years earlier than the big hair metal boom, but only a donkers like me would point that out). If it wasn't for their sub-biker jeans and sheer boneheadedness, Black 'N' Blue would be that band since they for all the world sound like a parody. This is a band that in all seriousness wrote a song called "Rockin' on Heaven's Door," sang "Heat It Up! Burn It Out!" and "Get Wise to the Rise," and belted out "Nasty, Nasty" and "Bombastic Plastic" -- all songs that are every bit as ridiculous as their titles, even sillier, actually. They also did a song called "I'll Be There for You" a few years before Bon Jovi did, but they weren't exactly prescient -- they just stumbled through their career, seeing a couple thousand of faces and rocking a handful of 'em. Listening to Hip-O's 2001 20-track overview is entertaining, but only because you're gawking at this historical oddity -- a band that couldn't have existed at any other time, yet had little success during their era and sounding irrevocably tied to their era. It's a weird conundrum, and while it's worth a voyeuristic giggle for metalheads and rock geeks, it's not particularly worth more than one spin. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
