MIKE COOPERInfluential 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 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)
