James Cotton brings the year long Mississippi Blues Project to a dynamic close at the TLA

The legendary James Cotton brought WXPN’s year long Mississippi Blues Project to an explosive close last night during a rocking performance last night the TLA. Cotton, preceded by a Funky Friday dance party with David Dye and a Blues DJ set by XPN’s Blues Show host Jonny Meister, proved his legendary status with a dynamic 90 minute set of songs, including several from his latest album Cotton Mouth Man, and a rousing version of “Got My Mojo Workin.'” All photos by Laura Jane Brubaker. Audio from the entire show will be posted on Monday. The Mississippi Blues Project has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
