High Cotton Radio is your home for the traditional country, blues, gospel and folk music that was recorded prior to the year 1975. We call this “gutbucket music”, symbolizing the homemade instruments which used to be played by the pioneers of traditional early American music. Much of the popular Americana, Rock and Roll, and R &B music which followed 1975 was inspired by the music we feature…we believe this music is the “guts” of the American sound.

Round out your humpday with The Front Porch, a solid hour of your favorite alt-country and Americana tunes. The Front Porch features the likes of Jason Isbell, Robert Earl Keen, Lucero, Reckless Kelly, and some other great stuff that probably won’t compete for the CMAs (but we like it that way!). From time to time we’ll even throw in some of the old guard, like Willie, Waylon & the boys.

Looking at history through the eyes of rock, Life is a Rock looks at a week in rock history. This show features old rock & roll, classic rock, blues, soul and more—playing songs that made history and songs about history. History gives us insight into who we were, who we are, and who we’re likely to become. Music, especially music that corresponds to that same history, can give great insight into our deepest emotions as we go through all the events that have shaped our lives. Life is a Rock, looks at our history through the eyes of rock/roll – the music that expressed our lives, our times, and even our future.
