Guitar slinger Cotton Clifton has been electrifying Honky Tonks across the country as the right hand man for country artist, The Kernal, for 10 plus years, and for the past 3 years has added lead guitarist for Nikki Lane to his road warrior repertoire. On his latest single "California Stoned", he drafted Nikki herself as a guest singer; and it's a damn good time. Blending country funk, swampy rhythms, and pop sentiment straight from The Beatles, it's a catchy number ripped from well worn dance floors. His tried and true experience only makes for one hell of a show... His new album "100% COTTON" is out now!
Already revered for his Jerry Reed-esque guitar virtuosity, Clifton's skill solidifies his place as a great country songwriter and rock & roll heavy-hitter. Whether it's the 9-5 grind, the wear and tear of the road, or late night fights and honky tonk neon lights, Cotton's music is for those that can relate with these struggles we all so often face. Grab a funnel cake and hang on, it's a fun ride.
