Sounds Like"To me Jack Cooke is one of the true unsung heroes of our business. He has always been a loyal sideman providing just what was needed to help the "star" shine and be able to step up and deliver when his turn came to shine. We have waited too long to hear the music and voice of Jack on his own album." - Mike Bub Get Your Bluegrass Here: ..

   About Jack Cooke
“I’m never going to work. I’m going to let this guitar do it for me.” The words of a teenage Jack Cooke to his sister say it all. In the end it wasn’t his guitar but his bass that has done all of the work for him in his 36-year tenure with Ralph Stanley as a Clinch Mountain Boy. Starting with the Stanley Brothers in the mid 50’s, Jack halted his musical collaborations with the group in order to sing the lead vocals for Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys for four and a half years (1956-1960) before ending up with the Clinch Mountain Boys for good in 1970. Jack sat down with producer Jim Lauderdale and recorded some of his favorite songs for his upcoming Pinecastle release, Sittin’ on Top of the World. Cooke’s supporting cast includes Ralph Stanley, Del McCoury, Ronnie McCoury, Rob McCoury, Mike Bub, Jim Lauderdale, and David Gisman among others

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.



Publish artist interviews in English to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazineInterviewsEnglish , interviews in French to http://groups.myspace.com/InterviewsAvecCountryMusicStars and interviews in German to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryMusikInterviews . All these groups on MySpace are part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine.



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.
