The Cosmic Evolution was a five-piece garage rock band founded in the late 60s and early 70s in Tallassee, Alabama. The five teens came up in the textile mill community where most if not all their families were employed and resided in the surrounding mill villages, at times working at the mill, known as “Cotton College”, themselves. With limited prospects of mill work, military or other trade, they set out to make their name in The Cosmic Evolution.

In 1971 the band released a 45: Evil Woman / Mississippi Woman on Grass records recorded at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

The Cosmic Evolution made the Big BAM Top 40 in 1971 and were the first and only local band to do so.
