J am e s C o t to n t o “ B o o g i e D o w n ” N o v . 9 BoKibler No, you won’t find James C o tto n ’s music on the local top forty re-bop radio dial. He doesn’t throw cosmic space dust out at his audience, or strut the stage on mile high platform wingtips. Alas, he doesn’t even disco. He plays blue and rock’n roll the hard way. That is to say the James Cotton Blues Band draws it’s strength from music first, and superhype second. This is why tk^e band is not a penny whistle rider on an a.m. radio merry-go round. November 9, at 8 p.m., James Cotton, with the back-up band, Roomful o f Blues, will bring their music to Somerset Hall for SMC’s annual Fall Concert. James Cotton has a strong East Coast following and plays the type o f blues and rock’n roll th a t evolved out o f the Chicago city tradition. It is rowdy, get down to it music th a t creates a bonaflde party atmosphere. Roomful o f Blues is another quality band that has managed to escape the top 40 snydrome, thereby maintaining a musical integrity th a t the punk rockers and formulaic,) big beat rhythm kingas have missed. ‘Blues’ is easily the type of band th a t could carry it’s own show. They are th a t good. During a telephone interview, Cotton expressed his hopes for the show. “We’re gonna kick it on o u t,” he said, “ and boogie down, and we want everybody to boogie with us.” Ticket prices are $2.50 in advance for students and $5.00 for non-students. Tickets must be purchased in advance or the prices go up to 3 and 6 respectively, at the door. They will be on sale upstairs, in the student union soon.
