His new LIVE album titled 'Live at the Pub 2' drops this Tuesday and this past Wednesday Johnny Cooper stopped by The KNUE studio to sing for some of our listeners.  Cooper has never been one for making music any way but his own, and his new single 'Hot Mess' may not be what people would call a traditional country song,  cause it's not...

But by God, if it ain't some good music.  In fact, 'Hot Mess' despite it's non-traditional sound and title, has so far been his fasting rising single to date, reaching 33 this week after just 2 weeks on the Texas Music Chart.  For those of you who weren't able to make it in for the show, Imma share 3 of his performances with you now.

1. First we've got 'Try' and yes, J Coop demonstrates his beat boxing abilities beginning at 2:18, enjoy!

2.  Next the eclectic Texas singer sang a smash-up of TWO, yes two 'Temptations' songs 'Ain't To Proud To Beg' and 'My Girl'. Which Amy Austin started singing along with and embarrassed me :)

3.  Finally Cooper sang one of my favorite songs that he sings, 'Yes My Love' off his current album 'Follow'

Be sure to listen to Radio Texas Live this Saturday as Johnny returns as my in-studio guest and don't forget to pick up his new album 'Live At The Pub 2' -out this Tuesday.
