What is up with James Cotton's voice? It sounds good but it sounds like there's some problem with his mic. You can hear Muddy and Sonny and Brownie and everyone else like they're in the room but James sounds different for some reason. Like there's a radio offscreen and he's singing along with it.
He's right, the Delta bluesmen can never be topped. I agree with Muddy when he said that in order to sing the blues "you have to pay the cost, and you have to go to church".
Look at the last frames of this movie,where they fill the screen , I believe that I´m seeing a Chapel Sixtina fresco. Michelangelo could paint these angels.
This was a blues summitt. A who's who in the blues world. You can see the deep respect and love for the blues. Each one of these artist was well known, in their own right. What a special moment in time.
When I toured England with Mable Hillery in 1967 as her guitarist, I had no idea that she had done all this with some of my heroes. Great to see. Loved it.
What about the Grafton sessions? wasnt that a greater meeting?

@willruddock The reason for Cotton's voice is because he is singing through a harmonica mic.
