Sunday Songday <br> Music that Moves. Lyrics that Matter.

Welcome to Sunday Songday.

Sundays are a good time to slow down, reflect, and maybe discover something new. This week, we’re inviting you to spend a few minutes with a Brazen Candor original.

Today’s featured song is “Cottonwood,”a song that began on a hot Arizona afternoon and grew naturally from there.

Hit play, enjoy the journey, and then let us know what stood out to you. If the music or lyrics speak to you, we’d love to hear your thoughts.


The first song we’d like to share with you is “Cottonwood.” It’s upbeat, fun, and I think it’s a well-written introduction to Brazen Candor. I’ll keep the background brief this time and simply let you enjoy the music.

Sedona has a mysterious appeal for many people, and I visit as often as is reasonably practical. On my last trip, after spending a few days in Sedona, I headed toward Scottsdale. The route took me through Cottonwood.

It was hot that day, and the phrase “Hot in Cottonwood” immediately got my songwriting instincts going. Many of the lyrics describe the town itself. It stretches along the valley, looking both weary and welcoming at the same time.

The song came together quite naturally as I finished the drive and enjoyed the day there.

Now that you know the story behind the song, press play. We hope you enjoy Brazen Candor performing “Cottonwood.”
