Cooper Alan is bursting onto the scene with his debut album, Winston-Salem, and it’s as vibrant as a Saturday night in the South. This album marries high-energy tracks with deeply personal stories, giving everyone proof that he’s more than just another pretty face in country music! With two sides to explore—reflective and rowdy—Alan takes us on a journey through his life while celebrating his roots in North Carolina.
On one hand, we’ve got the emotional side of Cooper, with songs like“Better Dad”and“La-Z-Boy”that pull at your heartstrings while reminiscing about family. But hold onto your boots because the other side, like“Greener Grass,”is ready to have you stomping your feet and raising your drink! You’ve got to love an artist who can switch gears like that—it’s like the emotional depth of a ballad with the fun of a honky-tonk anthem.
With a baby on the way, Cooper’s dialing back the touring for a bit—who wouldn’t want to prep for diaper duty? But let’s not cry for him; he’s planning a triumphant return to the stage at the Ryman Auditorium. It’s like he’s sneaking in a little life advice along with the beats: balance your work and play. So, which side of Winston-Salem are you most excited to explore—heartfelt reflections or party vibes?
A thought for the road: what’s your favorite song that pays tribute to family? Let’s hear those stories!
