Sounds Like“The enticing allure of Nashville is that there is always something new coming down the pike. Put this record on and you’ll hear footsteps.” – Tom T. Hall “Peter Cooper looks at the world with an artist’s eye and a human heart and soul. His songs are the work of an original, creative imagination, alive with humor and heartbreak and irony and intelligence, with truth and beauty in the details. Deep stuff. And they get better every time you listen to them.” – Kris Kristofferson "Peter Cooper’s voice is just the right fit for his moody tunes and engaging music." - Washington Post "(’715’ is) an utterly transfixing meditation on Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, baseball and the South, just in time for opening day." - USA Today “Mission Door is rife with graceful melodies, intelligent humor and pithy turns of phrase.” – Pasadena Weekly "A quick wit and an honest voice that would have made Roger Miller proud." - Jason Ringenberg of Jason and the Scorchers. "Excuse me young man, but I need to get past you to get some roast beef." - Garrison Keillor.

   About Peter Cooper
"Peter Cooper looks at the world with an artist’s eye and a human heart and soul. His songs are the work of an original, creative imagination, alive with humor and heartbreak and irony and intelligence, with truth and beauty in the details. Deep stuff. And they get better every time you listen to them." -Kris Kristofferson 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.
All the best from Germany to the rest of the world.
