Cotton, also known as “Mr. Superharp,” started his blues journey playing in Howlin’ Wolf’s band in the early 1950’s. His initial recordings were laid down at the Sam Phillips institution Sun Records in Memphis. In the mid-1950’s Cotton joined Muddy Waters’ band, eventually becoming his bandleader. In the mid 1960’s he formed the Jimmy Cotton Blues Quartet and he played with them when he wasn’t touring/playing with Muddy’s band.

Cotton recorded his first complete solo album, The James Cotton Blues Band on Verve Records, and it was produced by Mike Bloomfield and Nick Gravenites. --- americanbluesscene.com
