Peggy Brown, President of Hit The Road Entertainment is joined by co-host and producer Maysha as they talk--laugh a great deal, but cover a lot of series, insightful subject matter--with the 2015 International Blues Champion, Eddie Cotton Jr! Eddie talks about Being Eddie Cotton Jr, what he wants the world to know about him and his "Mississippi Cotton Club" and more, such as his concept, the "If Dimension" and his idea for "The Cotton Call" in Part 1. He also discusses Mississippi as the Birthplace of America's Music, Blues in general and then very specifically, and his love for what he does. In Part 2, he talks about the future of the "business of music" in Mississippi, and the world actually, and more about the "If Dimension" and the "Cotton Call", revealing his heart, not just for the industry, but for the people in the industry.
