FEATURING PETER COOPER
SHOWTIME: 7 P.M.
COVER: $10
PETER COOPER: Singer-Songwriter
East Nashville, USA
When people lead double lives, the second is usually the more interesting. That’s not necessarily the case for Peter Cooper, whose first life finds him working as one of America’s most prominent music journalists: The kind that gets to sit and talk with Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Kris Kristofferson and the like. His work is featured in the pages of the Nashville Tennessean and in
books, magazines and liner notes, and he’s a frequent presence on national and international television and radio programs. That’s him talking about music and
musicians on CNN, MSNBC, CNN, the BBC, the Biography Channel and other outlets.
But that’s also him performing on stages from Prairie Home Companion to Nashville’s hallowed Bluebird Café, or harmonizing, playing bass and co-writing a song on Todd Snider’s ‘The Devil You Know’ album (Universal/ New Door), or batting songs across a Nashville stage with Nanci
Griffith, or working in the studio with Emmylou Harris or Ricky Skaggs. That’s him, singing and playing bass with Snider on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman.
Cooper’s second life has been of the quasi-underground variety until 2005. But lately he’s been touring regularly with Snider and on his own, and he’s recorded a stripped-down, five-song mini-album called The
Clown Juice EP , with music best categorized as “the stuff that used to be called something else but is now ‘Americana.’”
Created in a few days at the same East Nashville studio used for Loretta Lynn’s Van Lear Rose album, ‘The Clown Juice’ EP finds Cooper singing and playing unaccompanied, save for touches of harmony from Eric
Brace of Last Train Home and for the remarkably intuitive steel guitar work from the legendary Lloyd Green. A member of the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame, Green was an integral part of classic albums by The Byrds, Don Williams, Charley Pride, Ricky Skaggs and others. He’s never been heard like this, though, with his steel taking prominence in the soundscape and serving as an instrumental foil for these wryly sad lyrics about sin, boozing, and the quirks of musical and personal ancestry.
In concert, Cooper delivers these songs troubadour style and tells stories –
some with melodies, some without.
Cooper’s forthcoming effort, the full-length Mission Door, includes guest appearances from Green, Snider, Griffith and others. “Peter is a Tom T. Hall/Kris Kristofferson freak, and I think it shows for the good,” said Snider. Hall himself has offered praise for Cooper’s performances, pegging him to sing Hall’s own “Mama, Bake A Pie” during a tribute concert at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Another of Cooper’s inspirers, Jason Ringenberg of Jason & The Scorchers, noted Cooper’s “quick wit and honest voice,” while Eric Brace (himself a double-life guy who writes for the Washington Post and fronts
touring band Last Train Home) called Cooper “One of the most daring and
excellent songwriters in Nashville.”
