James Cotton Marker
Photographer: Sandra Hughes
Taken: January 17, 2012
Caption: James Cotton Marker
Additional Description: The Bonnie Blue Plantation, here at Clayton Junction has been cited by blues guitarist CeDell Davis as the site of the crossroads where blues icon Robert Johnson made his alleged deal with the devil, but the tale has not been corroborated by researchers, and James Cotton never heard about it when was questioned in 2008. However Cotton did record several versions of a song called "Dealing With the Devil." The James Cotton Blues Band shared bills with many rock bands at ballrooms and concert halls such as the Sound Factory in Sacramento, California. This poster is from 1968.
