"This is an album of original acoustic guitar music. The tunes draw more on folk and old-time ideas for their inspiration. Cooley is an excellent guitarist with an intriguing musical imagination, and the album is well worth your time." Dirty Linen Magazine Issue # 78
"Lead guitarist Cooley has recorded a magical gem. His fleet, gentle touch on the fretboard is a wonder to hear. If your'e into acoustic music, you need to hear this guy". Robert K. Oermann, Music Row Magazine Volume 17, August
“Cooley's crafty work and clever writing are well worth the wait" Acoustic Guitar Magazine
"A terrific acoustic guitar album... satisfying in the way good music should be" Wood and Steel Magazine
"Cooley is equal parts back porch picker and perfectionist" Guitar Player Magazine
“Cooley’s terrific acoustic guitar playing is augmented by deft, tasteful touches of chromatic harmonica, percussion and other instrumentation. Whereas some guitarists’ “tunes” are merely impressionist picking and strumming patterns, Cooley plays the troubadour, composing guitar songs that nudge the listener toward emotional responses to the work of a top-flight songwriter. That tree-with-no-leaves approach is the more difficult of the two, requiring the artist to establish, in relatively simple structures, enough range and dimension to convey complex levels of meaning. Cooley accomplishes that as well as anyone of recent vintage, and better than most. “Wood & Steel” Magazine
“Cooley was dazzling" Mark Harden - Denver Post
“The man then leaped from his horse and shot Wohrle five more times before taking out his knife, mutilating the body and finally taking his scalp. The fiend then remounted and rode off waving the scalp in triumph. This man was Scott Cooley. “–The Mason County Hoo Doo Wars” by Glenn Hadeler
