Ross Cooper

Born and raised near Lubbock, Texas, Ross Cooper began his adulthood as a professional rodeo rider before a knee injury ended his career.  He drew upon these experiences of life in Lubbock and on the rodeo circuit in crafting his third studio album, Chasing Old Highs, as a follow-up to his albums I Rode The Wild Horses and I Give It Time.  Named by Rolling Stone one of the 10 New Country Artists you should know, Ross combines classic western themes with a modern alternative indie sound to create ear pleasing songs.  A rising star on the Nashville Songwriting scene, his songs have been cut by rising stars Randy Rogers, Wade Bowen and William Clark Green. In the episode, Ross shares his backstory on “Freewheelin Feelin,” “Chasing Old Highs,” “Forever To Get There,” “South of the Angels,” “Hello Sunshine,” “11 Miles,” and “New Orleans.”
