Borderline Brilliant!

BORDERLINE BRILLIANT: TRUE CLASSIC OF AMERICAN MUSIC RETURNS TO GLORY Fans stunned that release is on compact disc, not 8-track FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- January 13, 2009 Critics will rave over Borderline Brilliant, the latest release and delightful musical romp featuring King Cotton and The Remnants. The New York Times may call it “borderline brilliant.” Rolling Stone could impart, “This record gathers no moss.” Spin indubitably will call it “southern punk with a gothic twist of mercurial delight – the best rock ‘n’ roll we’ve heard in years.” Some may even say that “King Cotton joins the pantheon of great South Carolina songwriters like Pink Anderson, Rev. Gary Davis, Josh White, Dizzy Gillespie or James Brown.” Not! With Borderline Brilliant, King Cotton and his pals embark on a wildly entertaining, American musical odyssey to find love and purpose in a dark, troubled world. The release includes 15 tunes that range from balls-out rockers to sad, tuneful laments about fishing, missed dating opportunities, ghosts, libido, dreams and drinking. 11 songs are new compositions recorded at Baby Moon Studios; 4 are “bonus tracks” recorded two decades ago when the King was working with his legendary band, the Albanian roots group, SlavDik™, that never made it to daylight. The Remnants, led by King Cotton, are mysterious, secretive and only play live when there’s a blue moon and can best be described as co-dependent artisans who are forced to deal with separation anxiety after their plan to stage a booze-soaked party goes awry. Behind-the-scenes mixologist and producer Dr. Spicey reveals he is “delighted to have worked with world-famous King Cotton on or near the general proximity of this project. We have the best musicians in the world -- unknown, yet tested -- and we synergize and combine our core competencies to ensure a leading synergistic competent position in the industry. Our product is unique, wonderful, flavorful, danceable, tuneful and melancholic. There are quite simply very few like it.” Indeed!
