Cotton Bell is the long awaited, full-length follow up to this troubadour's critically acclaimed debut, Another Sailor's Dream (Machine). Recorded with some of the areas finest talent in the harsh cold winter months of Milwaukee, this promising new artist emerges with what could be his best work yet.

RECORDING NOTES - "[Cotton Bell] has VIBE. Everything is based around a live take of musicians playing together in a room. Hayward did not "fix" or even "punch in" anything. We did whole takes until we got something that felt best to all of us. The core of the record is just people in a room playing music...that is really the production. It's what we both wanted to capture and it worked." ~ Jon Christopher Hughes, producer, engineer, mixer

Andy Conrad? releases epic 33-song Machine Records debut, available now!

Sept. 30, 2008 ~ Andy Conrad's This Is Not A Revolution is like a funky old American quilt woven with charming vocals, observant lyrics and sounds that deliver a surprise around every corner. The tracks evolve with layered vocal harmonies, banjos, bongos, bells, whistles and melodies that taste fresh and become more addictive with every listen. This 33-song outpouring of zest and witty attitude is a bona fide, homegrown buffet - the American White Album. So, when America cracks and drifts, this will be an instant classic soundtrack to always take you to a better place.
