DREW COOPER’S “THIS LIFE” IS A SOARING ANTHEM ABOUT SELF-ACCOUNTABILITY (PREMIERE)

Wedged between Texas and Tucson, Drew Cooper writes working man’s Americana. Instantly identifiable by his throaty, soulful vocals, Cooper’s latest continues to ride between contemporary country and rock influences. “This Life” is the title track from his forthcoming double album, with its first part due for release on 15 April. Set to the beat of a march-along percussion, Cooper tenderly handles a cut that he says reflects his own coming up. He soars along its bridge, telling a tale of self-accountability.
