Howling At The Moon

Description

• Continuing the folk theme of DELAY 68’s debut release, the ‘FOLK IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD’ compilation (CDDELAY01), we present one of the original and long lost folk-rock-funksters, DON COOPER. • Laden with sunshine soaked melodies, round-the-campfire guitars, troubadour vocals and Hip-Hop beats, despite being recently sampled by the likes of Hip-Hop giants MC SEARCH and DILATED PEOPLES, Don Cooper has previously been resigned to obscurity, but no longer… ‘HOWLING AT THE MOON’ is first ever ‘Best Of…’ of this enigmatic singer/songwriter, drawing on his ROULETTE RECORDS output from 1970-1972. • ‘Howling At The Moon’ is the second release from DELAY 68 RECORDS, a brand new label from CHERRY RED RECORDS, set to bring you the best in Folk, Funk, Psych, Prog, Ye-Ye, & Beat from across the world. • Compiled by, and featuring original artwork and sleevenotes from ANDY VOTEL (TWISTED NERVE) and CHRIS MCBRIDE (45 KINGS); fans of Andy’s groundbreaking "MUSIC TO WATCH GIRLS CRY" mix CD (an insanely eclectic mix of 75 tracks in 76 minutes!), and the critically acclaimed 2005 smash "FOLK IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD" compilation on DELAY 68 will have some indication of what to expect from this enthralling collection of songs from this forgotten sensation. • No Don Cooper material has ever been on available on CD, the songs featured here appear here for the first time away from their sought after original releases.
