Eric Brace and Peter Cooper

You Don’t Have to Like Them Both

Peter Cooper is now perhaps best known to country fans as the Nashville journalist who received an extended cursing-out from Toby Keith after the Academy of Country Music Awards last month over a news item he had written a couple of days before. That’s a shame, because Peter is also a talented singer and songwriter who has become a staple of the city’s alt-country scene over the last several years. You Don’t Have to Like Them Both finds him collaborating with Last Train Home frontman (and fellow journalist-turned-artist) Eric Brace on a warmhearted romp combining sharp originals and smartly picked covers.
