Cole Mitchell

Cole Mitchell was spawned in the American west, born in New Mexico but moved at an early age to Alabama. You hear both the warm heat of the south and the dust of the southwest in his voice. Born in 1958, he was steeped in a gumbo of country and rock, everyone from Johnny Cash to Creedence. Gunfighter songs and lovelorn ballads. Mitchell's lyrics have full mastery of the traditional country, cry-in-your-beer songs, but they never fall into parody – he brings us along with a twinkle in the eye
