SONG PREMIERE: Dana Cooper Ignites Righteous Singer-Songwriter Flair On “Always Old Friends”

The middle ground between iconic singer-songwriters like John Prine and “tell it like it is” wordsmiths in the realm of Jay Farrr and Steve Earle, lies the melodically insightful world of Dana Cooper. Cooper’s songs have been recorded by a variety of artists such as bluegrass singer Claire Lynch, Irish vocalist Maura O’Connell, Nashville songbird Jonell Mosser, as well as songwriters Pierce Pettis and Susan Werner. His incredible catalogue and musical sensibilities have led to endorsements from AirPlay Direct and Elixir Strings. His recognition from his peers is measured by a collection of award accolades that include songwriting and performance nods from respected singer-songwriter groups.

With his upcoming album I Can Face the Truth Cooper faces hard truths head on with humor and heartfelt expression. Joining forces with Co-Producer and multi-instrumentalist Dave Coleman the two enlisted some of the best songwriters, singers, and musicians from the US and Ireland. Collaborators in the studio include Tom Kimmel, Kim Richey, Jonell Mosser, Maura O’Connell, Brother Paul Brown, David Starr, and Gillian Tuite. Expect “I Can Face the Truth” to be Released Early 2022 with an expansive CD Release Tour to follow.

Glide is premering the effervescent folk of “Always Old Friends,” which mixes the realm of strummy commentary alongside deliciously melodic writing that ruminates with the power pop playfulness of Jackson Browne and the roll-up your sleeves simplicity of early Springsteen.
