Bean-to-bar chocolate bars have always been music to my mouth, and now I’m excited to announce that it will be music to my ears! American chocolate makers have formed a musical supergroup called the Cocoatowns and are releasing their first album! The band consists of Adam Dick and Dustin Taylor of Dick Taylor Chocolate on guitar and vocals, Greg D’Alesandre of Dandelion Chocolate on bass, and Mackenzie Rivers of Map Chocolate on drums.
The first album includes the following cover songs, with a chocolate twist:
You Can’t Always Get (the Chocolate) You Want (Rolling Stones)
Eight Tonnes A Week (the Beatles meets a scathing commentary on how much big chocolate produces)
Sweet Chocolate Bar of Mine (Guns N Roses)
Papa’s Got a Brand New Origin Bar (James Brown)
Sultans of Sweets (Dire Straits)
Winnow ‘n Grind (R. Kelly)
My Kind of Cocoatown (Frank Sinatra)
Chocolate Maker’s Paradise (Snoop Dog)
(Cocoa) Beans for Breakfast (Johnny Cash)
Melangeur Rhapsody (Queen)
Total Eclipse of the 100% Bar (Whitney Houston)
