Said about us
‘PICTURES’
“High Cotton offers fifteen high resolution musical snap-shots of life. These songs - some in bold colors, others in warm sepia tones and a few in sharp black & white – take you on a journey, evoking familiar scenes in amazing ways - The melodies and words from High Cotton create ‘Pictures’ that will stay with you long after the last track has played.”
