Remember when I used to post videos? Well, I still do. If you need an excuse to do whatever you want to do on this fine Friday night, musician and Tennessean writer Peter Cooper has you covered. This is “Sheboygan” off of his 2008 album Mission Door (which made the Top Ten Albums of 2008 at Country Universe).

A freelance writer and humorist with an abiding love of country music, C.M. Wilcox's cutting, clear-eyed take on the genre has drawn the attention of Country Weekly, The Washington Post, and The Tennessean in the years since this site began. He lives near Sacramento and can be reached by email at CMW (at) countrycalifornia.com.
I’m glad Leeann and I aren’t the only ones who realize that Peter Cooper (or at least this song) is awesome – although maybe it’s just a given that you would like him if Leeann did, haha. But yeah, definitely one of my favorite discoveries of 2008. I’d love to see him keep putting out music, though he’s a pretty sweet journalist, too.
Okay, okay… I’ve been putting off getting his album for some reason, but no longer. I’m gonna buy it on iTunes today.
What on earth was I waiting for? This is great! This guy fits right in there with Hayes Carll and Bruce Robison, two of my faves… good stuff.
He has a new disc (a collaboration with Eric Brace) coming out soon, Dan. In fact, it might be out already.
Glad to have put you over the edge, Trailer.
