RadioIndy is proud to present Clare Cooper a GrIndie Award for their CD Northern Drive." A GrIndie Award is RadioIndy's stamp of approval that this CD is an excellent quality CD. Please join us in congratulating this artist on this accomplishment.

"Northern Drive" by Clare Cooper is driving Country Rock that features a Pop element. The songs are complete and well arranged with lots of layers. Clare has an impressive classic country voice and the album features some great harmonies. Overall, the musicianship and production on the CD are very professional. The concept is fun and happy. You'll also hear some great changes and an overall uniqueness. The album opens with "Colorado" and features fun lyrics and a big sound with some beautiful harmonies. "Cosmo and Manhattan" tells a story and throws a bit of an Adult Contemporary vibe at you. "Hole in the Wall" has a sinister vibe to it, cool horns and another fun story. If you want to check out a fun, cross-genre CD, with elements of country, adult contemporary, and rock give this CD a listen.

I have enjoyed Clare's performances for the past few years, and I am always thrilled to hear new, original music :) Buy it, people!
