Details of Ray Cooper
Artist / Band
Details
Ray Cooper is best known as the bass and cello player from Oysterband, where he went under the name of Chopper. He left the band in 2013 shortly after releasing his debut solo album
Tales of Love, War and Death by Hanging
(**** - R2, "terrific" - Rootsworld) His new album Palace of Tears will be released in September. If you've only ever seen him with Oysterband then you're in for a treat. His songs, largely originals but with the odd traditional piece thrown in, are mined from that rich folk seam of death, unrequited love and yes, death by hanging. They have a power and intensity easily the equal of his former bands work and are largely performed by Ray solo, not only on cello and bass but also mandolin, harmonica and kantele.
