Peter Cooper brings the eye of a journalist -- his day job -- to his songs, but adds sympathy to what is otherwise honest reporting. He writes about idealized and fallen idols, barrooms and shady characters. Cooper is joined by steel wizard Lloyd Green on the record and in the producer`s chair. Evocative songs, exemplary playing and Cooper`s easy delivery combine making Mission Door an album rich for repeated listenings. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Red Beet)
