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.
