Cottonmouth Texas - After several years, it was nice to
catch up with spoken word/deep dub artist Cottonmouth,
Texas (Jeff Liles). Cottonmouth, Texas is Jeff's spoken
word project that is musically driven by hip-hop beats.
We speak of his early releases and major label (Virgin)
involvement, which was when I first encountered him. Not
only does he bring us up to the reissue of Anti-Social
Butterfly, but Jeff makes a cogent, if summary, analysis
of the state of the music industry.

Traciana Graves - In
this 30 April 2007 interview we meet Traciana
Graves. Born in Harlem, U.S.A. she was largely
raised in France when the career of her model mother
took the family abroad. It is in France where Traciana
became immersed in the arts and music. She taught
herself to become a guitarist, studied at the Sorbonne
and became the first American accepted into the
prestigious National Acting Conservatory in France. This
foundation lead her to become a sought after background
singer for the likes of Celine Dion, Steel Pulse,
Youssou N' Dour, Andrew Lloyd Webber and others. We hear
how this background has affected her album Tales of A
Prodigal Daughter as well as her efforts to inspire
others through lectures, workshops and one-on-one
coaching
sessions with such topics as "Embracing Multiculturalism
And Diversity".

Random Touch - This 8 April 2007 chat with Random Touch's
Christopher Brown was the culmination of a great musical
discovery, for me. The 2-CD album from the group on Token
Boy Records is the type of progressive space music
headphones were made for. Listen in for an overview of the
group's long career and found why it has recorded so little
and its artistic connection to early surrealist readymades
and other visual arts
