Editor's review
A Swedish Americana band from the '80s named after one of Hollywood's greatest leading men? Why not? Cooper's cool, punky take on country music (likely inspired by part-time Swede Lee Hazlewood) still sounds crisp and authentic. With a reunion in the works, this Gary Cooper may see his name in lights again.
