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.

infectious pieces of contemporary rock that show
just how much can be accomplished with just two voices,
two guitars and a crack rhythm section," said
David Wild, Rolling Stone magazine. Celebrating their
20th anniversary of playing together professionally
in 2006, Tom and Ian Spanic have appeared on many
national TV shows including Saturday Night Live,
Late Night With David Letterman and Late Night With
Conan O'Brien, and their songs have been featured in
numerous TV shows, movies, commercials and even video
games. In their 20 years playing together, the
