Album Of The Day-The Fool On Every Corner/Mike Cooley I have to confess that in spite of a friends recommendation over the years Ive not spent much time investigating Drive By Truckers or the shuffling cast within. I wrote earlier praise for Jason Isbells latest that stand by, but youve heard all about that album. Today I recommend to you this solo live outing from another Trucker who is not Patterson Hood. Mike Cooley aint much of a singer and hes only a bit better as a guitar player {hes barely in tune on this recording}. Also, this is no recording for audiophiles but it doesnt matter because hes a gloriously good songwriter. No wonder Isbells record is so good [and it is]. He was at school all those years with this guy. If you like great writing [of any kind] you will love this record. If you want guitar solos, soaring voices and or you are currently wearing a deep v neck t shirt and skinny jeans you wont understand this record. Return the clothes, find a beer you actually like, buy this record and go to school on it. Thanks to Stacie Huckeba for sharing this wonderful piece of work with me. Highly recommended. That’s her over in the corner Drinking coke and eating ice Twisting her hair up on her finger Does the memory serve you right The Cigarette machine she’s leaned on Remembers more than most of us We hide em both under a blanket When the health department comes
