A ferocious blast of brash boogie blues, this release reaffirms James Cotton's high-compression blues harmonica playing is a true force of nature.

"...among the greats of all time. He blazes on harp with brilliant virtuosity."
- Rolling Stone

'Giant' is a ferocious blast of brash boogie blues! Produced by Cotton, Jacklyn Hairston and Derek O'Brien and recorded by Stuart Sullivan at Wire Recording in Austin, Texas, 'Giant' features twelve tracks, including four new Cotton originals and co-writes, alongside songs made famous by Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Ivory Joe Hunter and others.

Throughout his career, Cotton has always led great bands, and the players on 'Giant' are no exception. With guitarists/vocalists Slam Allen and Tom Holland, bassist Noel Neal and drummer Kenny Neal, Jr., 'Giant' is not just a reminder of Cotton's legendary status, it is a vibrant, hard-hitting album made by one of the true blues masters. This release reaffirms James Cotton's high-compression blues harmonica playing is a true force of nature.
