153: Ross Cooper
from New Slang Hosted by Thomas Mooney, Ross Cooper
Send us Fan Mail On Episode 153, I'm joined by singer-songwriter Ross Cooper. The Nashville by way of Lubbock songwriter is readying his latest batch of songs, the introspective Chasing Old Highs. Much like his breakout album, 2018's I Rode the Wild Horses, Cooper's tunes come with a worn-in and a weathered grit and seasoned moxie. And as a veteran songwriter and an ex-rodeo cowboy, he blends authenticity and genuineness with the best of them. This go-around, Cooper further ventures into uncharted pastures with a more daring sonic palette that goes further into garage-rock flare, way out Western openness, and just the right amount of pop-sense that swirls amongst the West Texas dust, dirt, and dry land. During this conversation, we talk about the songs and themes of Chasing Old Highs, how Cooper's songwriting has changed over the year, tips & tricks, and some of our favorite indie-rock bands of the early and mid-2000s. This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol. In addition, this episode is sponsored by The Blue Light Live and Hot Damn Coffee.
