The Songs of Mike Cooley


"I make more money off t-shirts. If you rip it, burn it, give it to somebody, and they come to a show and buy a ticket and a t-shirt, I profit more that way anyway, and then I've got a fan. Records are promotional items these days anyway"

What better way to introduce some songs from my 'favorite' Trucker, and one that can turn a phrase with the best of of'em.
