Wettner Dictionary: Cottonmouth Country
Apparently the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd was so drunk during the 70's that they recorded AN ENTIRE SONG and forgot about it. I'm not saying that they recorded a semi decent track and tossed it on the cutting room floor. They actually forgot the song. Well, maybe that isn't the whole story, but I'm going with it anyway.
So, on today's edition of Wettner Dictionary, we attempt to define Cottonmouth Country.
Cottonmouth Country: The dry feeling left in your mouth after getting cornholed anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon Line by a group of slack-jawed chinstrappers.
| Guitarist Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd
says he has unearthed an old track recorded by the original version of
the band in the 1970s, and may be releasing it as a bonus track on an
upcoming CD. "Going back in the archives, actually, I found this old song that we did with the original band, with Ronnie Van Zant singing, you know, Leon (Wilkeson)'s on bass, and Bob Burns is on drums. It's a cool track, it's called 'Cottonmouth Country.' He explains that the band might release the song as a bonus track on their next album: "It's pretty well done, but the recording isn't as good as it should be, but we might put that out as a bonus track on it, so that's a whole new Skynyrd song nobody's heard. It's pretty wild, pretty cool lyrics. It's about the swamps, you know." |
