I wrote "Free" back in 2001 when I was going through the divorce from my first wife.  It was included on my MP3.com release "Sleeping with your Hairstylist". This recording was done at my friend Pete's studio in 2003.  Pete engineered the tracks and I did the final mix.  I play all the instruments and sing.

Free

Have you ever seen a face that just sticks with you? Well if you have, then you know what I'm talkin' about. This is my original tune dedicated to faces you just can't get out of your mind. Enjoy!

A Face I Can't Forget

I often say, "The jam is everything." This piece of music is a good example of that statement. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing it. Thank you for listening!

My Oath to You

I wrote this one a few years back. How many years? Who honestly can remember? :)
It's been a spell. 
But I remastered it today.
I hope you enjoy it!

Take Me To The River

I saw this cute little hummingbird in my backyard garden, just humming along. feasting on the flowers' sweet nectar, and I managed to capture this photograph. The pic goes well with the music. If you like mellow, relaxing guitar with a pretty, piano/orchestral background, you'll be sure to like this one. Enjoy! And, as always...thank you for listening!

Even bunnies get the blues occasionally. Dig it. Groove on it. The music speaks for itself. 
I hope you enjoy it!

Tickled Pink

This piece is way too long to be "commercial" or "monetized" on Soundcloud -- I know that. But I compose from my heart. This piece is over 10 minutes in length, and I like it this way. I hope you enjoy every minute of it. I worked hard on it, and I am proud of it, exactly the way it is. If you have high-quality studio headphones, I suggest you wear them while listening to this piece. I want you to hear every nuance of the music. A good pair of home speakers will do the job too, of course. See what you think, and enjoy! Your comments and feedback are always welcome. Thank you!
Respect,
Joel R. Cooper

Find Me In The Fog

When I was 17, I played guitar exactly like this. No fooling! Iwas in several rock and blues bands when I was younger, and this is how I probably sounded. I lived in California at the time, hence the original photograph of the ocean in California. I hope you enjoy this track. It is very long (over 11 minutes, I think, so kick back and enjoy it. Or listen while you are driving to work in your car.

When I  was 17

I have no earthly idea where this tune came from. Ideas come from all over, everywhere. I always go with the flow. I hope you enjoy my tune! By the way, that hummingbird photo is original too -- I took it. Enjoy!
