"Willie Nelson is an American hero who has done so much good for our country through his work with Farm Aid and other causes. When his tour bus was raided and he was arrested for possession of weed and mushrooms it put into perspective our unjust drug laws are," says Kottonmouth Kings frontman Daddy X. "We hold Willie in high regards and wrote the song 'Free willie' in his honor. If it grows naturally, let it grow free as god intended and if can happen to Willie it can happen to everyone. Nature is not our enemy. Freedom justice and equality for all."
The Kings also recently announced Willie Nelson as the recipient of the "Lifetime Freedom Fighter" Award in the first annual Kottonmouth Awards. The awards have been announced online at http://www.kottonmouthkings.com/kottonmouthawards/ with the awards being presented in Anaheim, CA on April 20th weekend, commonly referred to as 4-20 the national stoner holiday. The Awards are given to those who have helped to spread awareness of the growing legalization movement and exceptional stoney abilities throughout the year.
In celebration of this year’s annual marijuana holiday, commonly referred to as 4-20 (after the Police code 4:20, which is used to indicate marijuana smoking in progress), Kottonmouth Kings are urging fans to request "Free Willy, or the track "Proud To Be A Stoner" at radio stations. Both tracks can be downloaded at the following location www.MySpace.com/KottonmouthKings
"Free Willy" is taken from the Kottonmouth Kings' ninth studio album entitled "Cloud 9". The album debuted at #44 on the Billboard Top 200 and #3 on the Top Independent Albums chart. The album's lead single “City 2 City” featuring Tech N9ne has become one Sirius Satellite Radio’s most requested tracks on the FACTION channel and the video has been viewed over 330,000 though popular online video sites like YouTube and Revver.
Kottonmouth Kings recently released Kottonmouth Xperience 2 through the group’s own label, Suburban Noize Records. The 2-disc set takes fans through a psychedelic journey with some of the best remixes of classic Kottonmouth Kings material by some of today’s hottest producers.
