Formerly known as the Cotton Jones Basket Ride, the Cumberland duo now simply called Cotton Jones is on the road, touring behind TALL HOURS IN THE GLOWSTREAM (Suicide Squeeze, August 2010), a tasty mélange of groovy indie Americana roots rock that follows last year’s highly praised PARANOID COCOON. Michael Nau, formerly of Page France, and Whitney McGraw share sweet vocals on the patriotic “Glorylight and Christie,” backed by some fine snare drumming, while Nau takes the lead on “Somehow Keep It Going,” which features the infectious chorus “C’mon, baby, let the river roll on.” The soothing, wordless “Soft Mountain Shake” sits in the middle of the album, in between the sixties-ish “Song in Numbers” and the fifties-ish “Place at the End of the Street.” Cotton Jones will be playing the Brooklyn Knitting Factory on October 6, with Pepper Rabbit and Beau Jennings opening things up.
