James Cotton - There's Something on Your Mind

I have endeavored in the past several weeks to really build up the soul/funk/blues side of my record collection, so you'll be seeing a lot of this stuff in the coming weeks. (Really I just want to make things harder on Daniel.)

Back in the '50s, James Cotton played harmonica for Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters; he established the James Cotton Blues Band in 1967. I first heard this track on "3 Harp Boogie," a mid-90s album of previously released Cotton material (compliments of my roommate). It originally appeared on 1967's James Cotton Blues Band, and it is awesome.
