Cotton Jones‘ new album Tall Hours in the Glowstream just came out the other day and it is fantastic! You really feel like you’re listening to a piece of Americana lost and buried in a pile of old vinyl, only to be dug up by you and only you, and you think to yourself, geez, those were the days. The days when twangy country, and dreamy folk were real and true. Michael Neu and Whitney McGraw are like magic together with tracks like Glorylight and Christie. It’s a little gospel, a little honky tonk, a bit campy, but all thoroughly enjoyable. There is nothing quite like the voice of Michael Neu, it’s got that pastoral buttery sound. Makes me miss the South.
