"The ultimate Muscle Shoals music insider's many lives"

Post by OldCloverdale »

Trust me. Read this article.

Around the early-2000s, Cooper befriended underground southern rockers Drive-By Truckers, whose members included Hood’s son, singer/guitarist Patterson Hood. The Athens, Ga.-based Truckers also featured singer/guitarist Mike Cooley, who at Florence’s University of North Alabama had been roommates with Patterson at a dumpy Howell Street rental home. Cooley and Hood were still in local alternative band Adam’s House Cat when they first met Cooper, at Muscle Shoals Sound. . .

That was a GREAT read. Thanks for posting! This part especially caught my notice:

"Lately, Cooper has been working on two book projects: one, a narrative-driven project on his time with Drive-By Truckers (he also took photos of every gig he ever did with them); and two, a coffee-table book about Muscle Shoals music."
