Peter Cooper is the same guy who writes about music for the Nashville Tennessean and who appears as a talking head on CNN, CMT, MSNBC, the BBC, the Biography Channel and other outlets.
He’s also a touring singer-songwriter and instrumentalist who has played on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman and Prairie Home Companion. His songs have been praised by the New York Times, the Washington Post, Mojo, No Depression, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times and the Wall Street Journal. Cooper has opened numerous tour dates for Todd Snider (and collaborated with Snider, singing harmonies, playing bass and co-writing a song on Snider’s brilliant "The Devil You Know" album) and worked in the studio with Emmylou Harris, Nanci Griffith, Lloyd Green, Ricky Skaggs and other luminaries. He recently produced Snider’s odds ’n’ sods album, Peace, Love and Anarchy. His own debut album is called Mission Door. More information available at www.petercoopermusic.com.
I stopped by the Angel Oak, you know it, the 700 yr old plus tree in Charleston, technically Johns Island a couple of months ago. There were some new age hipster types doing yoga under the tree. They had brought plastic trash bags to sit on. I asked them why they where doing yoga there, and what was with the trash bags. One ( With a Hemp hat) Said he was trying to commune with nature. and then I said, Well, ya might wanna try gettin' a little on ya." H wanted to get up and take a swing at me, and God knows I wish he had. He'd have got a lot of nature on him. I guess even Hippies undestand physics.
