Six Nominations, Houston Press Music Awards, 2007-09 including "Best Songwriter", "Best Roots-Rock", and "Best New Act" ****** "Reminiscent of The Bottle Rockets, Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt, and Alejandro Escovedo, Cooper's not kidding around on lyrics like 'When the bottle's your only friend, you're coughing up the blood, and your lungs will start to flood'" - Chris Gray, Houston Press ****** "LL Cooper's Old Hardin Store Road plays like a sparkling amalgamation or world-weary, road tested genres...Cooper's balance of humor and heartache make it an engaging expression of lyrical emotion." - Joey Guerra, Houston Chronicle ****** "The band's chemistry is evident...The songs are filled with familial and relationship heartache - but any hints of bitterness are tempered by Cooper's subtle wit." - Bart Fehr, ENVY Magazine ****** "...the kind of voice that sticks with you; it's deep, dark, with a sly touch of sarcasm." - Sara Cress, 29-95.com ****** "When it comes to salt-of-the-earth working-class roots-rock, groups (especially around Houston) don't come much more solid than LL Cooper, the semi-eponymous band led by Houston/Austin roots vet Larry Cooper...On Old Hardin Store Road, Cooper proved his Best Songwriter nomination is no joke. His soulful, semi-psychedelic roots-rock (Stones, Son Volt, Neil Young) is set to return on his follow-up LP Tucson." - Chris Gray, Houston Press ****** "...Superb Southern-style songwriting...grassy guitar work, and twang, like Creedence Clearwater Revival rolled in a tortilla with Tom Petty" - Shea Serrano, Houston Modern Luxury ****** "...Larry Cooper continues his winning streak with this fantastic release. In the 15 or more years we've known him, his abilities always amaze me." - Dave Miller, North of the Border ****** LL Cooper is fronted by veteran guitarist, singer-songwriter, and producer Larry Cooper, who's stage and studio credits include award winning Americana singer-songwriter Lisa Novak; the grungy, blues of Houston rockers Under the Sun; the trashy, Texas rock and roll of Personality Crisis; 90's alternative rockers Crash Comfort; and production credits as diverse as the modern folk-rock of Lee Alexander and 21st century punk of Kemo for Emo. ****** In 2007, Cooper stepped up to the mic and released "Old Hardin Store Road", delivering his songs with a deep Southeast Texas twang carrying equal parts sarcasm and sincerity. The record picked up excellent reviews in the Houston Chronicle, and in December made the Chronicle's list as one of the "Top Ten Discs of 2007". In addition, the record picked up great reviews in the forever fussy Houston Press, where L.L. Cooper managed to garner five award nominations during 2007-08, including "Best Songwriter" for Cooper, as well as "Best Roots-Rock" and "Best New Act" for the band. ****** The summer of 2009 saw the release of LL Cooper's long-awaited follow-up, "Tucson", which has picked up great reviews from several Houston outlets, including The Houston Press, Houston Modern Luxury, and North of The Border.

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.

Our new album is now a FREE
download! Last week it debuted at No. 3 on the Noisetrade charts. Hear what all
the fuss is about by downloading your copy from the image below.
This Tuesday night September 1st! Come check out The Bayou Trio at The Shakespeare Pub 9:30-1:30am No cover charge! ITs gonna be a rockin night of rockin tunes, rockin booze, and rockin free pool on the new pool tables!
summer Texas rampage of rock n roll fire continues with a show at
Rudyards, Houston , TX on Thursday Aug. 6 and Friday Aug. 7 @ The Trash Bar Texas in
Humble where the kids throw beer and scream for more rock n roll.
What a fine damn show for the CD release... paused a week+ to comment to let it really sink in because it deserved it. Tremendous emotional effort spills from dots on plastic this moment into a bottomless pool. Superlative, falls short. Carry on.
CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
