简介

Broke & Hungry Records, the label responsible for the critically acclaimed debut CDs of Jimmy “Duck” Holmes and Odell Harris – is pleased to release its third album of real-deal Mississippi blues. Meet Me in the Cotton Field marks the first recorded collaboration between Clarksdale, MS. mainstays Terry “Big T” Williams and Wesley Jefferson. Featuring everything from a cappella field hollers to searing electric juke joint workouts, Meet Me in the Cotton Field shines a spotlight on two of the delta’s unsung heroes. Big T, a protégé of Big Jack Johnson, has been rocking Clarksdale’s jukes for nearly two decades. Sidelined for a period by a stint in the notorious Parchman Penitentiary, Big T has spent the years since his release re-establishing his reputation as one of the delta’s great guitarists. Wesley Jefferson has been a mainstay in the Coahoma County blues scene since the 1960s. Working first as a drummer before settling on bass guitar, Wesley has worked with many of the area’s greats, including Sam Carr, Big Jack Johnson, Willie Foster and Robert “Bilbo” Walker. He also has fronted his own band, the Wesley Jefferson Southern Soul Blues Band, for decades. Past member of the band have included James “Super Chikan” Johnson and Michael “Dr. Mike” James. Look for Big T and Wesley at the 2007 Chicago Blues Festival.
