  MIKE COOPER

Influential British guitarist Mike Cooper is primarily regarded as a folk-blues guitarist 

and singer/songwriter, though his wide range of work cannot be so easily defined. 

Cooper began opening for a host of traveling American bluesmen as well as British stars of the era. 

He met fellow folk-blues musician Ian A. Anderson in 1967. Between them, the pair recorded 

three four-track EPs for the SayDisc label. They released a full album of these tracks 

as well as new pieces entitled The Inverted World. Though assembled in early 1968,

 it wasn't released until 1970. His playing had developed exponentially, incorporating a wide variety 

of Delta and country styles in his technique. He also employed bottleneck slide and lap steel. 

Cooper traveled England and met many other British musicians, including 

Michael Chapman, John Martyn, Ralph McTell, and Roy Harper, and wandering American players

such as Stefan Grossman, Dave Van Ronk, and "Spider" John Koerner

With a burgeoning national reputation, he was signed to Pye Records (Janus in The States) in 1969, 

and that year recorded Oh Really!?, the first of five influential recordings for the label 

and its imprints Dawn and Fresh Air. It was released in November. 

Interestingly, while there were still solid audiences for folk-blues, 

Cooper and many of his peers had moved on and broadened their own horizons 

without forsaking the roots music that had nourished them...(AllMusic)
