Now is the time...

Here's why now is the time to fall in love with Anna
Coogan and her music:
[I'll try to be brief]
Because there are years and years of excellent music
ahead of her. This means that you should begin enjoying
her songs now, near the beginning; that way, you derive
the most ("most" being a synonym for "longest" in this
context) enjoyment out of being a fan. If you wait,
you're only [unnecessarily] delaying gratification,
which doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you think
about it for a minute.
Because she's still [relatively] down to earth (though
admittedly this is subject to debate among people that
know Anna personally). For example, if you [hypothetically
speaking] bump into her at Mae's Phinney Ridge Cafe in
Seattle and say something like "Aren't You Anna Coogan?",
she's entirely likely to acknowledge, and even possibly
be flattered by, your recognition that she's who she is.
This won't always be true (I guarantee this).
Because she possesses this rare combination of both
talent and humility, something that's increasingly
difficult to find in these days of attention-grabbing
narcissistic culture.
All I've said thus far is true: she's young, extremely
talented, has a wonderful voice with which she uses to
sing hauntingly beautiful melodies. This is true now
and will be true for many years to come.
Check out Lonesome Cowboy Lullaby.
Then become a fan of Anna Coogan.

Powerfully expressive, delicately soulful...well-crafted and original.

Outstanding debut/demo EP, it captures the fire and passion of Anna's live performance and deftly showcases her touching style of balladry. Standouts include the title track and Drop A Line; the complete package is a worthwhile visit with a talented and promising musical original.

"Drop a Line" is fabulous. A wonderful CD overall, but they really get everything together for "Drop a Line."
