Colin Cooper Project - From the Vaults (2014)

PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED RECORDINGS:REMIXED,REMASTERED AND NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON CD.The late Colin Cooper was a founding member and leader of Climax Blues Band.A great song writer,vocalist,sax player and guitarist,whose distinctive baritone vocals were crucial to the mainstream success of Couldn't Get it Right(1978), a smash hit on both sides of the Atlantic.This is a truly rare find - a collection of unreleased tracks recorded between 1995-2008,and taken from tapes completed at Colin's home studios and originally recorded for personal pleasure with no release plans at the time.The selection of music perfectly demonstrates Colin's unique vocal style, accomplished musicianship and deep knowledge of the music he loved.Some songs even have a spoken introduction, giving a nice,laid-back feel to the Blues flavoured songs presented on this CD.As well as being an essential addition for Climax Blues Band collectors,this is a really pleasant album with tasteful sax,nice guitar work,and Colin's warm vocals that will delight blues-rock fans.
