Writers' Night feat. Dana Cooper, Kim Carnes & Peter Cooper
Price: $10
“If you work hard enough, you might die standin’ up,” Dana Cooper sings in the first line of his new album The Conjurer — but the irony is that as he’s singing them, the Nashville singer-songwriter has never sounded looser, happier or more free-wheeling on record. Recorded with a top-flight assemblage of Nashville sidemen — including Dave Roe, Fats Kaplin, Kirby Shelstad, and Pat McInerney, whose drumming sounds like a boxing glove whamming a punching bag — The Conjurer finds Cooper the “mysterious man of mellifluous melody” breathing new life into raw tunes nearly four decades deep in his catalogue, with a sprightly roots-rock snap that wouldn’t be out of place on a Peter Case record. With their nods to bluegrass and pre-war folk, the songs make a safe bet for a lively show at the Station Inn with Cooper’s co-writer and guest vocalist Kim Carnes, veteran singer-songwriter Buddy Mondlock and ace Tennessean music journalist Peter Cooper (who’s also an accomplished songwriter, damn him).
