What one of my customers had to say:
“I just got my harmonica union tee in the mail – there’s not enough harmonica tees in the world, and none of the quality of this shirt – it’s the best, soft feeling print of anything in my closet. 5 stars” – “Cookie” Johnson – Clearwater
James Cotton (1935–2017) was an American blues harmonica legend whose fiery playing and showmanship helped define Chicago blues for generations. Born in Tunica, Mississippi, Cotton began performing as a teenager under the mentorship of Sonny Boy Williamson II before joining Muddy Waters’ band in the 1950s, where his harmonica work powered some of Waters’ most electrifying performances. In the 1960s, he launched the James Cotton Blues Band, blending raw Delta blues with high-energy rock and soul. Known for his powerhouse stage presence and nicknamed “Superharp,” Cotton recorded acclaimed albums like 100% Cotton and Deep in the Blues, the latter earning him a Grammy Award. A master of tone, rhythm, and feeling, James Cotton’s music bridged eras and audiences, leaving an indelible mark on blues history and inspiring countless harmonica players around the world.
Grego’s notes: “It was a very long time ago that I was asked to create this art – I used to run in James Cotton at the post office quite a bit when he lived in South Austin – he would very occasionally “sit in” with bands from his chair at the Giddy Ups saloon where he would enjoy playing a semi legal slot machine form time to time. His voice was really gruff by the time I got to start talking with him on a regular basis – and I always made sure to hold the door open for him whenever possible and ask him ” How are we today, Mr. Cotton?” His grave is in Austin at the State cemetery along side Governors, Titans of industry, sports stars and even an astronaut… a fitting resting place for a great man.”
