When people think of folk music, Cumberland, Maryland doesn’t exactly spring to mind. However, Cotton Jones might just change all that. Their debut release Paranoid Cocoon strums its way into your heart and makes a cozy little bed for you to lie down in. This is great music for a lazy fall afternoon with friends: leaves falling through the wind to their final resting place, the sun dripping through the clouds, the breeze bringing smiles to your faces.
Here’s the video for “Blood Red Sentimental Blues”, which combines acoustic guitar, delicate harmonies, and a really big Rolling Stone logo to create something altogether irresistible. Stretch out on an old blanket and enjoy.
