Alternative country-rock unit
Slobberbone comprised singer/guitarist
Brent Best, lead guitarist Jess Barr, bassist Brian Lane, and drummer Tony Harper. Formed in Denton, TX, in early 1992, the group originally approached their music with the same seriousness with which they chose their name (a reference to a dog's chew toy, incidentally), gigging in the pursuit of free beer and little else; their first live show, in fact, was even held at an area liquor store. However, in 1995
Slobberbone self-released an LP titled
Crow Pot Pie that caught the attention of Doolittle Records founder Jeff Cole, who quickly signed the band; in 1997 they issued their sophomore effort,
Barrel Chested.
Everything You Thought Was Right Was Wrong Today followed on the New West imprint three years later. After hooking up with producer
Don Smith, the band recorded Slippage in the spring of 2002 for a summer release. The band played its final show in Denton in 2004, and
Best, Barr, and Harper went on to form a group called
the Drams. ~ Jason Ankeny
