Born into poverty among the cotton fields of Tunica, Mississippi, James Cotton ran away from home at the tender age of 9 to travel with his musical mentor Sonny Boy Williamson. It was the beginning of a life long odyssey with the harmonica and the blues. "...He demonstrated his uncanny sense of time and space by pausing several times during the song, proving that silence can be just as exciting as sound." Louisville Times
