        :: Release Notes:
        ::
        ::  Ex-Blue Eyed Devils singer-guitarist Cotton pursued his muse
        ::  from his Bay Area home to Clarksdale, Mississippi, for this
        ::  solo debut. What he found in the Delta with some aid from
        ::  producer Jimbo Mathus--who played guitar on Buddy Guy's last
        ::  few albums and leads his own rockin' Knockdown Society--and
        ::  guitar ace Big Jack Johnson was the inspiration to blend the
        ::  essence of old-time string band music and pure country blues
        ::  with his folk-inclined sound.
        ::
        ::  Cotton's not much of a storyteller, but his fleet picking
        ::  style, delightfully raggedy vocal cords, and taste for
        ::  flat-four rhythms propelled by loose-tuned snare drums create
        ::  a juke joint party feel that makes for easy listening and
        ::  serves covers of Skip James's "I'm So Glad" and John Hurt's
        ::  "Louis Collins" well. The best cut is Cotton's own "Black
        ::  Night," where his howlin' warnings about a cuckolded husband
        ::  get slicing support from Johnson's thick fills and keening
        ::  slide. And the album ends with the poignant wish "Goin' Back
        ::  Home," where Mathus's slide resonator guitar helps brings
        ::  Cotton's pining lyrics to life.
        ::
