''Pickin' Cotten'' is a live album by guitarists Lenny Breau and Richard Cotten, recorded in 1977 and released in 2001. Cotten taped a weekend show at the Bluebird Cafe and, after his death, his wife gave the tapes to Randy Bachman of Guitarchives Records.〔Forbes-Robert, Ron. (2006).

Moreover, Breau stumbles at times, although his stumbles are frequently better than most players' best efforts, and Cotten's contributions are workmanlike, resulting in little interplay. That having been said, the sound is clear, with Breau's occasional grunts and groans attesting to the relaxed setting and receptive audience that no doubt contained many Nashville pickers looking for a guitar lesson... Lenny's playing, though, was never standard. Throughout, he conjures many of the stylistic trademarks that have made him a veritable legend among guitarists: unique extended chord voicings, rippling octave harmonics and virtuosic single-note lines."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pickin' Cotten」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
