About
Daniel Cooper recently moved to Brooklyn after a decade in Nashville, where he was an editor at the Journal of Country Music. Mr. Cooper is the author of Lefty Frizzell: The Honky-Tonk Life of Country Music's Greatest Singer. He says there is “no contest” about the best song ever written about Music City: “Nashville Bum,” recorded by Waylon Jennings in 1966.
