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 his sophomore effort for Dawn, everything came together for guitarist and songwriter Mike Cooper. Trout Steel established him as one of the pre-eminent players on the Brit folk and blues scenes. Given his organic approach to composing; his truly dazzling abilities with acoustic and slide guitars; and his predilection for just the right sidemen and arrangements, Cooper was among the most poised musicians of his generation, and Trout Steel proves the point time and again over its 11 tracks. ....(AllMusic)
