Live at the Alamo Theatre marks Eddie Cotton’s triumphant arrival on the blues scene. It is not everyday that blues fans can celebrate the discovery of a young player hailing from a traditional background.
Eddie Cotton found inspiration in traditional blues masters like Little Milton, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, as well as soul singers like O.V. Wright, Little Willie John, and Otis Redding.
Eddie shines on creative arrangements and interpretations of Howlin’ Wolf’s “ Shake For Me,” Hound Dog Taylor’s “She’s Gone” and the scorching closer, Little Milton’s “Walkin’ The Backstreets And Cryin’.” His originals include the Gospel drenched “Don’t Give Up On A Love Affair,” the mournful “You’reThe Girl ,” as well as the soul blues “WhyMust I Cry .”
