Devin Cooper is a southern-rock-influenced country artist, who has kicked off 2024 with a bang. Cooper was nominated for five Country Music Alberta Awards and released his country-rock love anthem, “She’s My Religion,“ on February 9th. The single quickly climbed to the top, becoming the #1 song on Sirius XM’s Top of The Country radio.
This momentum continues with Cooper’s latest release of his 22-track double album, Good Things: Deluxe Edition.
His debut album Good Things released in 2022, Good Things was more than just an album—it was a reflection of life’s lessons, good and bad. As Cooper began writing songs for what he thought would be his sophomore album, he realized they belonged to the same storyline as Good Things and wasn’t ready to close that chapter yet.
Cooper had a vision: to continue exploring the themes of Good Things and present both fully-produced and acoustic versions of the songs. He wanted fans to experience the music as he first wrote it and compare it to the final versions. That’s how Good Things: Deluxe Edition came to life.
To capture the raw essence of his music, Cooper recorded the acoustic tracks for the deluxe edition in front of a live audience at OCL Studios in Calgary. A longtime fan of live acoustic tracks, he thought it would be an incredible experience for 40 of his biggest supporters to see his music recorded in real-time. Each attendee was given headphones to hear every behind-the-scenes moment, from producers’ discussions to the recording process itself.
“It was great to have the fans be a part of making the record,” Cooper said.
Cooper’s tight-knit team of collaborators, including close friends, played a vital role in shaping the story behind every song on the album. Co-writing each track allowed them to bring a cohesive narrative to life, adding another layer of depth to the Good Things chapter.
With a slate of new music in the works, Cooper is already exploring new directions and is eager to perform live!
