amazing. inspiring. beautiful. I absolutely love all of the family tree albums and I've been listening to them for years and they always have been a source of comfort for me. Mr.Cooper's vocals and varied use of instruments really bring the stories to life. he knows how to tell the perfect story and seems to have no trouble at all getting to the point without having to spell it out for you. I would love to sit down with him and talk about the way he writes his lyrics, he is an absolute genius.
