    James Cotton Band: Matt Guitar Murphy on guitar, Charles Calmese on bass, Kenny Johnson on drums and Little Bo (I think) on sax. Fuckin Steve Miller, please don't singing 😂

    As Navin Johnson might say, “There’s something about that music that makes me so sad.” Well, at least “Big Boss Man” is upbeat, Navin.

      His harmonica playing is exceptional. It’s one thing to just play one but it’s another thing to be expressive with that instrument.

      At 1:27 he starts his solo. It’s not the greatest guitar work ever but I think it fits in really well within the context of the song. But is this the real Steve Miller? I think he had some great songs after this from memory.

    I've had several opportunities to talk with James Cotton after He lost his voice. Hearing him sing has got to make you wonder how much more popular he could have been. He was a peaceful and decent from what I could gather from my conversations.
