ALABAMA – HIGH COTTON
ALABAMA – HIGH COTTON (1989)
Directed by: Jack Cole
High Cotton is a heartfelt reflection on rural life by Alabama, released on July 28, 1989, as the third single from their album *Southern Star*. Written by Scott Anders and Roger Murrah, the track nostalgically recalls the band’s upbringing and the values of hard work, family, and simpler times. The phrase “high cotton” symbolizes prosperity and pride in humble beginnings. Directed by Jack Cole, the music video features the band traveling in a vintage Cadillac through sunlit farmlands, observing scenes of everyday Southern life—perfectly visualizing the song’s message of gratitude and tradition.
