The featured vocalist is: Michael Lusk and Kim Corliss Guitarest: Butch Davis and John Cotton Steel guitar and Sax: John Heirich Key board and production: Billy Anderson After writing a couple of verses to Front Porch Blues, the golden rule came to mind and John started looking for a female co-writer. John approached Kim Corliss, who he had performed at open mic nights with. Kim wrote the second verse and third verse together, they thought it would sound good as a duet. Michael had recorded a few of John's previous songs, and ask if he'd like to do the male vocals. From there to the studio and then send promo copies to a few DJ friends. Time has past and it has now been released to all the major distributors, Amazon, ituns, google play, Spotify. It can also be purchased at johncottonmusic.net. This is the first single release with a EP digital down load and hard copy to be released in March,2018.

Yes it has been an adventure, because that is where I try to get my ideas. It started back in Viet Nam with Mild Mannered Man (1968) till today with Standing on the Corner. Not a story of mine but a friend. </p>
<p>A week ago this past Friday, Russ Williams, Georg Hagelmann and co-host Rebecca Hosking, gave me a nice review of my compositions and EP, soon to be released. It keeps getting pushed back each month, for new ideas, such as two possible videos. Then on Tuesday morning I received a phone call from Grant Noel, that one of the songs off the EP would air at number 4 on World Music Stage top 10 count down. Also included was a short phone interview of were I got the idea for Life of Ease. If that wasn't enough to build my ego up, Friday night when The Pack Showed aired, Georg posted The Radio Indie Alliance top 10 and there I was listed at number 10. It is an honor for the support of fans to request John Cotton Music. From all indie artist,singer/songwriter's and musicians,we wouldn't be; without you, The Fan.............John Cotton<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/198833/61ed9eb7f834ac064a3dc8879ea8ec8ba5f3df83/original/14449037-10210662727990209-6755265021348022354-n.jpg?1475003689" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/198833/8f8b4ff54df86058f86e0b33f96a2ecc17f200c9/original/14370025-1149067408496990-2374214936840411418-n.jpg?1475003930" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>John Cotton Musictag:johncottonmusic.net,2005:Post/43773692016-09-17T15:08:28-04:002016-09-18T20:43:05-04:00A Big Thank You<p>There were quite a few that visited my web site the other day but only seven left comments.

Quote by Russ, "I have John's album in my car and listen to it on my way home from work."He also mentioned that the album was well produced and written. The songs were not to long but not to short and lead you into the next tract. It is not of any special genre the range is from southern rock, blues, classic and new country plus contemporary music. Every Friday night on the Pack Show, Georg always plays one of my compositions. The Pack Show airs every Friday night a 10PM EST (US). If you're at home and nothing to do tune in and enjoy some great indie music by some great singer/songwriters. There are about 700 members on face book,so come and join. Many of the members have become very close and are always there for each other. I've had an experience by one of the members calling me while in the hospital, from New Zealand.
