A wonderfully realized set of songs from a writer who knows his form inside out. Andrew Dansby - Houston Chronicle  "Dana Cooper is an honest and passionate veteran who has paid his dues, done the work, and whose name deserves to be on the wall beside every other great who made Americana, folk and the music of the 70’s the treasure that it is today." Merlin David- M Music & Musicians Magazine  "Dana Cooper is an Americana treasure that you likely have never heard... If you are not previously hip to the Dana Cooper scene, use this opportunity to right a grievous wrong." Rock is the New Roll - Five Cool Ones  "I Can Face the Truth, not only boasts a telling title but more importantly, reflects an unimpeded joy and exuberance that are exactly what's needed during this pessimistic period of modern history.. Co-produced by Cooper and veteran multi-instrumentalist Dave Coleman, I Can Face the Truth is an unmitigated triumph, an album that should finally garner Cooper the credit he so decidedly deserves." Lee Zimmerman - American Songwriter

Dana Cooper w/ Nancy Maliwesky

Dana Cooper is a Poet, Storyteller & Songwriter from Nashville.  Dana's mixture of flat-picking, finger picking, and percussive strumming is "Legend Among Other Guitarists."  His harmonica playing equally impressive. As one critic noted, "he sings like an angel and plays like the devil."
