James Cotton defies blues roots with 100 per cent Cotton
Bruce Meyer reviews James Cotton's 100 per cent Cotton on Buddah, praising his authentic blues role and the strong backing by Mat Murphy and a touring connection with Johnny Winter. The piece highlights Cotton's headlining debut and the blend of get-down blues and boogie, plus a cover of Peggy Lee's Fever. It also shifts to John Mayall's reinvented rock blues band featuring Dee McKinney, calling the New Year, New Band, New Company album a major career turn.

The article notes rare coins, including the 1933 double eagle seized from King Farouk and the 1913 Liberty nickel that rose from $46,000 in 1967 to $250,000. It cites Q David Bowers on annual gains around 35 percent for certain pieces and argues coins offer inflation protection, liquidity, and a dual hobby investment.
