Photographer: Carol Friedman. LIVING THE BLUES was nominated for a Grammy, and deservedly so. While the legendary bluesman James Cotton's vocals weren't as strong as they once were, his harp work was more fiery than ever, the backing musicians (Dr. John among them) were some of the best he ever worked with, and the song selection was (wisely) heavy on instrumentals. Among the latter, the opening "Mississipi Freight Train"--a duet between Cotton's unamplified harp and drummer Brian Jones--is about as perfect a piece of musical onomatapoeia as you'll ever be likely to hear. "Pacific Blues," with Cotton's rollicking unamplified harp soaring over Joe Louis Walker's finger-picked twelve-string acoustic, is a straight shot of the mid-'30s Delta.
