cotton pickin'
Hi, Happy New Year! I hope everyone survived the holidays. This is a cover of a Jimmy Bryant / Speedy West tune called Cotton Pickin' It's pretty short so, if you've got a couple of minutes, give it a listen. Comments, criticism and/or mix suggestions are always greatly appreciated.

Pretty much my favorite type of music. I would give you a suggestion if I could think of one. How about more western swing. Thanks and great playing.

Gary! So good to see you here again. Killer stuff. Record this and I will put my Under Texas Skies on the flip side, like bread and butter.
You got a great western swing vibe and tone. Love that bridge! Great production! Steppin out, you've even outdone your usual stellar productions.
