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.
Hello to all my friends out there, I've posted some new songs from my upcoming Live album "the toolhouse sessions". One of them is a very special one: "Part of my life" is written about and dedicated to our common friend Kris Kristofferson. In his very own style ... maybe you like it.
