All 12 tracks were co-written by Cooper, and other collaborations on the record include country star and label mate Colt Ford, Bubba Sparxxx, "Mud Digger Princess" and former American Idol contestant
Sarah Ross, Demun Jones, Tyler Wood from the top-rated Discovery reality TV series "Moonshiners," Young Gunner of the popular Georgia-based band, Jawga Boyz, and introducing newcomers Cap Bailey and Cypress Spring. Cooper's hometown fans will be treated to a taste of the new album at the release party at Jillian's in Columbia, South Carolina on August 29.
