#97 High Cotton – Alabama
One of four standouts from the album of the group Alabama, this song was an important part for the creator as it incorporates parts from his life, more specifically his youth. The song is centered around the author’s memories, the simple life on the farm that had him remembering the good old days surrounding the religious farming family.

This is more a part of history transformed into a song rather than a hit. It was no surprise when it reached the charts, and, notably, the same album had not one but four tracks that were very popular at that time.
