It has been too long since we’ve heard from Jessica Lea Mayfield and so we are glad to report she is back and in fine form on a new tribute album to Country stalwarts Alabama.

High Cotton has fourteen tracks reinterpreted by artists such as Old Crow Medicine Show, Lucero, T. Hardy Morris, and Jason Isbell with John Paul White amongst others. However, we’ll happily wager than none has the impact of this resigned-but-still-sultry, molasses like cover of I’m in a Hurry (and Don’t Know Why). It is a stunner…

Have a listen. The album will be released via Lightning Rod Records.
