[lifebbz]

this thing blows me out of my mind, this is the exact clip that got me into harmonica.

[MrSquareJohn]

i just can't even attempt to mimic his playing (not because i'm as great as he is) but probably because i don't have THE blues for it.

[blxeep]

he makes love to harmonica

[ACDC7369]

the first 10 seconds of this song already have more feel than everything released in the last decade COMBINED

[whorebucks]

[guitarfreek393]

[Templarone1]

[goosenooseable]

what key is that harp?

[fudgecat11]

@goosenooseable Pretty sure the song is key of E.... which means you play cross harp with an A

[kfb2011]

@fudgecat11 are u sure it's just not an E-flat?

[animan70]

[misstere94]

[jamzy9]

[CoffinAvenue]

[BigTsimReviews]

[tombotucker]

PLAY THAT THANG, JAMES!

[ndoumos]

[BebsiForever]

He's not sweating. He's shining!

[RanetkiFan]

Saw him in 1970, at The Providence Civic Center, when he opened for Santana. He was great! ( I don't even like blues LOL) 

[thomash49]

this guys amazing!

[LucaSbaBabetto]

He's... kinda... sweaty! :D

[lobizoon1]

I'm sure this guy has more than two lungs.

[inthewind8181]

that guy is more than dumb fuck he is BRAIN DEAD HIS LAST SHOULD BE DUMB FUCK .

[RsOO7A]

What's the deal with all the harmonica blues guys last names..Muddy Waters <--Dark person..John Lee Hooker <--Hooker really? then Will I am's grandpa.. Sonny Boy Williamson..Albert King <-- Martin luther king gets shot...

[juanemesis]

his name could be jhon lennon, i dont give a damn of it, just hear and feel the music

[juanemesis]

About his last name, why dont you read some history, look for something like cotton fields in XIX century

[juanemesis]

im a white guy but if you are looking for good soulful blues look for black people who really plays it

[slidhome]

EHill, you're probably the funniest guy I know! Wow! What a cool joke! You really got a knack, man!

[SmokeItUpScott]

Why does the top comment have to be such an ignorant asshole? This guy has so much talent and I wish we had more of this. All I see in comments on this video are people joking at his name or sweating. Cotton is sweating because unlike people today he actually had to work hard and loved doing his music.

[Bluesummers1296]

@SmokeItUpScott hey fuck you, you self righteous pussy. cotton was a nigger who could bend a few notes on the harp. nothing impressive.

[SmokeItUpScott]

@Bluesummers1296 how the fuck do you get off calling people ignorant names. Make you feel better that you can call people names? Please go back to your redneck trailer and die

[juanemesis]

@SmokeItUpScott just dont pay atettion to such an ignorant that only wants to have a top comment criticizing something that he cant do even in his dreams, and with his lack of arguments recurs to racism

[TheJohn845]

@Bluesummers1296 its 2011, you really said that. Your a dumb fuck. really.....

[reyjalapeno]

@Bluesummers1296 and you're just an asshol* that can write stupid things on youtube. god you must be lonely.....

[strandwolf]

@Bluesummers1296 Cotton? The plant? Looks to be green to me. Retard.

[zenevonat1]

az az ember aki még nem érezte magát szolgának, az sohasem érezheti ezt a ritmust.

[dengels1957]

35 who have no musical soul

[musiclover9361]

This must be from the very deepest depths of a man's soul. Fantastic! This shit just cannot be taught.

[MrAdamSavage]

sometimes it seems as he's waiting for god to give him his next impro line :P

[FilthyTodd]

This brings tears to my eyes! BTW, who are the 35 jerks that disliked this video?! Ain't you got no soul?

[TheSleepyShadow]

One of the best blues harp players. Ever.

[grosper]

Great!

[GenLodA]

Didn't know that playing blues was so tiring... this man's sweating like there's no tomorrow

[Mrihearvoices]

does anyone know if this song is copyrighted?

[TravisWildriver]

@Mrihearvoices yes it is

[Mrihearvoices]

@TravisWildriver how can you know for sure? i couldn't find any copyright records in the U.S. Copyright Office and and I couldn't find any other information about it

[FretFreak02]

5:14 mouthfart lol!

[saavedra29]

He is great harmonica player and looks very good guy. Friendly with the people and modest. Not like the today's artists.

[GeRmAnBoMbErBoY]

This is that type of music that speaks without using words, and says soooo much more then words could express.

[Aroulis1213]

How can anyone possibly dislike this???? HOW????

[cesarbcerra11]

Perfecto.

[elbrujoazul]

@Julianbc01 jajajajaajajaja



[gatlostjimmy]

@elbrujoazul You are probably the most untalented jealous puny human being that ever lived. What in the world would make you think anyone would even take any interest in what you have to say or offer the world. Do yourself and everyone else a favor--get some help spiritually, psychologically. or just grow up before you spew anymore of your venom.

[MrBoredman69]

@Julianbc01 +1 xdddd

[gasuton2009]

@Julianbc01 ja ja ja

[1234magicman4321]

with that much sweat running onto the harp, he must need a new one every week.

[Harvo4282]

Five star blues

[thetextphantom215]

100% cotton yes

[Jere2424]

Whooooo chit, now that's tha slow blues mane!

[TheHuMoCa]

[GeRmAnBoMbErBoY]

@TheHuMoCa

I am so damn jealous, please take a video or something and post it on youtube

[Brandon18valensi]

I got chills with that harp

[brakenbergblues]

Wun-der-bar!

5 Pickert vom Brakenberg!

[Thaulopi]

being a singer and a basic harp player, I can only say this is how I feel when I play the harp with my lads, not as good though but good enough to comprehend his emotions while playing and the anticipation, the thrill of your own creation and contribution to the concert--amazing

[slidhome]

DO YOU REALLY EHILL?

[hoogerbooger72]

for a harp player this has to be one of the smoothest curling cheek squeezin riffs wiith not a note missed vibe shacantsir delta meets scotland blues

[Accordeons6000]

J'adore le bleues à l'harmonica +15 points.

[deathofangel789]

[JackCaoArt]

[Mischtchratzer]

[maxiblues89]

[dbscegz]

Directo al alma...

[RR5GUITAR]

Music doesn't know of race. Stfu

[citywidesniper1]

CelikDogukan,your mom is right"this is the blues"and so many more like him.Explore it and you will be amazed where it all come from.Look up James Cotton,Sonny Terry&Brownie Mcghee,Muddy Waters,B.B.King and so on.There is alot of Blues out there.

[citywidesniper1]

To eROCtele and EHill2010,if it wasn`t for this man and many blues men before him,you little punks would not have what you call rock and roll.Look it up and before you start putting down blues men like james cotton,Where do you think led zeppelin and all those bands got thier tunes,they ripped them off of old blues men.And before you reply to this post,actually look it up before you make a fool of yourself you punks.

[CelikDogukan]

when i was watching this, my mom was sitting behind me and said just "this is blues" and she is 64 years old. he is the man.

[EHill2010]

@30Ciaran Actually, I'm rather educated but it still doesn't mean that I can't get humor out of it. Cry some more ya liberal dick suck.

[snivlem1]

now i can die...

[BeatHarp]

I want tabs of this blues pleeass,can anyone help me?or video leson of this song)))

[snivlem1]

@BeatHarp

Bendometer?

You tried that? its awsome, you can se what notes is playing. i guess some kind of "slow down program" would make it easier to see when hes rocking fast. but that soulfulness you can never tab...

[bicho4422]

Some people are just plain and simply... wonderful. And then there are some that are plain and simply stupid. Appreciate what he's giving us and that's it.

[wiscgaloot]

34 people who watched this have no soul at all.

[slidhome]

Why don't you appreciate the music instead of making some inane, racist innuendo?

[matthewcrissall]

I want to give him a medal.

[SuperDrJason]

I love it! This is the real deal! Listen and enjoy!

[Blizzardunio]

I love this musik o yeaaaa, this is my life!

[zipperhead16]
