Zack James comment: the number of guys who can trace their roots back to country blues days-guys like Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James Son House have mostly long a go passed the shades. Now were are seeing the last of the great links to the 1940s and 1950s electric blues explosion, guys like Howin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, the blues that most of my generation came of blues age on are passing as well. James Cotton, RIP,
