Review by Thom Owens
Deep in the Blues is a fascinating jam session between James Cotton, guitarist Joe Louis Walker, and jazz bassist Charlie Haden. The trio runs through a number of classic blues songs written by Muddy Waters, Percy Mayfield, and Sonny Boy Williamson and a few originals by Walker and Cotton. The sound is intimate and raw, which is a welcome change from Cotton's usual overproduced records.

Reseña de Thom Owens
Deep in the Blues es una fascinante jam session entre James Cotton, el guitarrista Joe Louis Walker y el bajista de jazz Charlie Haden. El trío recorre una serie de canciones clásicas de blues escritas por Muddy Waters, Percy Mayfield y Sonny Boy Williamson y algunas originales de Walker y Cotton. El sonido es íntimo y crudo, lo cual es un cambio bienvenido respecto a los habituales discos sobreproducidos de Cotton.
