“Cottontown” was written by Mark Brinkman and Becky Buller, two of the more sought-after songwriters in modern bluegrass, and recorded by Russell Moore and IIIrd Tyme Out for their 2015 album It’s About Tyme.
The song is an affectionate portrait of small-town life, set to a bright, banjo-and-fiddle-driven arrangement. It became one of three number-one bluegrass hits drawn from the album — a strong showing that confirmed IIIrd Tyme Out’s standing among the genre’s leading traditional bands.
