Mike: Like Cotton Mather? Find a copy of "Kon-Tiki."
  11:39am
IncreaseMather:

Cotton Mather's Kon Tiki is amazing. If you like Hotel Baltimore, you'll love Kon Tiki. Their first, Cotton is King is also very good.

Tom from Detroit:

Hi mike woggles in Cleve last night sonics in Detroit tonight listening on the way
  11:40am
Bill in W.O.:

Cotton Mather were/are an Austin TX band. You'll love all their records, but go out of your way to find KONTIKI. The first COTTON IS KING is good, KONTIKI is epic, the last THE BIG PICTURE is good but suffers in comparison with KONTIKI.
