I like Cooper's warm, melodic story-telling... I like, especially, that he has kept the sound intimate. When ever I listen to this album I always feel like he is close by … Both the lyrics and the acoustics invite me into his inner circle, and I like that very much.

Cooper's Stories Between the Strings is a delightful, intelligent, and melodic addition to my collection of favorites.  His lyrics are appealing in their depth-the universal themes of hope, yearning, sadness and loss.  The poetry is often whimsical and is filled with descriptive  metaphors.  While I hear strains of the toe-tapping blues of the pre-popular Elvis, styles of Dylan and others, Cooper's music is not at all deriviative but interesting with its key changes, mellow (melodies that stick) and quite refreshing in contrast to the often harsh sounds of many of today's newcomers.  I have the highest regard for this talented voice in our world of music.
