  • Description

    A warmhearted, lyrical, passionate, thoughtful, beautiful work, "Opening Day" is Cooper's third album, his singing and guitar playing augmented with some of the best musical accompanists in Nashville: Lloyd Green (75-year-old pedal steel hall-of-famer who graces all of Peter's work), Richard Bennett (guitarist extraordinaire and member of the Mark Knopfler band), Jen Gunderman (keyboardist extraordinaire and member of the Sheryl Crow band), as well as drummers Paul Griffith and Pat McInerney, bassists Dave Jacques (John Prine's guy), Dave Roe (Johnny Cash's longtime guy), and Mark Fain (Ricky Skaggs' longtime guy), percussionist/mandolinist Kieran Kane (the O'Kanes, Kane-Welch-Kaplin), and backing vocals from Julie Lee and Peter's duo partner Eric Brace. All the sounds were beautifully captured and mixed by Thomm Jutz, longtime guitarist with Nanci Griffith, whose studio just outside Nashville was where the magic happened. Thomm also added his sublime guitar playing and backing vocals to these songs.
