Continuing the folk theme of DELAY 68s debut release, the FOLK IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD compilation (CDDELAY01), we present one of the original and long lost folk-rock-funksters, DON COOPER. Laden with sunshine soaked melodies, round-the-campfire guitars, troubadour vocals and Hip-Hop beats, despite being recently sampled by the likes of Hip-Hop giants MC SEARCH and DILATED PEOPLES, Don Cooper has previously been resigned to obscurity, but no longer HOWLING AT THE MOON is first ever Best Of of this enigmatic singer/songwriter, drawing on his ROULETTE RECORDS output from 1970-1972. Howling At The Moon is the second release from DELAY 68 RECORDS, a brand new label from CHERRY RED RECORDS, set to bring you the best in Folk, Funk, Psych, Prog, Ye-Ye, & Beat from across the world. Compiled by, and featuring original artwork and sleevenotes from ANDY VOTEL (TWISTED NERVE) and CHRIS MCBRIDE (45 KINGS); fans of Andys groundbreaking "MUSIC TO WATCH GIRLS CRY" mix CD (an insanely eclectic mix of 75 tracks in 76 minutes!), and the critically acclaimed 2005 smash "FOLK IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD" compilation on DELAY 68 will have some indication of what to expect from this enthralling collection of songs from this forgotten sensation. No Don Cooper material has ever been on available on CD, the songs featured here appear here for the first time away from their sought after original releases.

Hidden gem
Blues. Folk. Country. Soul. All styles are gratefully accepted by Don Cooper as long as he gets to add to them his own brand of funkiness. This is an album which will have you hypnotised by the second listen and buying it for friends by the third. Great song-writing, great playing and just enough nods towards the leftfield to never quite let you settle and grow too familiar, no matter how many consecutive spins it may receive. You will not, nay - cannot, be disappointed.
