The Meat:
Adam Cox, Fox Hunt, and Beth Segessenman of Independent State spill the tea on their debut record "The Wild and the Wonderful", touring, and being a unit for ten years. The Independent State players dish on their involvement in environmental causes in West Virginia and the anti-fracking track "Save This West Virginia". The band discuss poet and activist Don West’s influence and poetry being incorporated into their music collection. Plus, they sound off on modern country music, lack of ballads on the airwaves, and whether or not Fox inspired Sierra Ferrell’s "Fox Hunt"!! https://www.mothmaninthebiblebelt.com
