The two tracks are fan favorites that formerly appeared on Cooley's 2020 acoustic anthology, "50 Songs." The new versions were recorded at his Virginia home studio, Cooleyland, with Shane producing and performing all of the instruments.

"One of the luxuries of recording my own music is the ability to find the soul of the songs without dollar or time constraints. I recorded 'Black Moon' on my porch in front of one microphone, cicadas and all. Releasing these tracks in alignment with the eclipse feels like an offering of these songs in their purest form, clearing the air for new endeavors."</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/rYUaw9exTkA" width=100% title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">Cooley also adds that part of that change is the loss of beloved performer Jimmy Buffett in September. "Jimmy's music was integral in my early songwriting days," said Cooley. "A world without him is truly a world in need of more music."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">​</span></span><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">"Voices / Black Moon" was released on October 13, 2023 and is available on all digital music platforms.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SHGIU1Ad6BE" width=100% title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">Earlier in 2023, Cooley released a solo single, "The Goddess," and collaborative releases "God Save The Queen" and "Give It Up (My Love) with Chris Webb. Two of Cooley's co-writes were also released this year on Ushuaia & The Wanderlust Orchestra's "End of the World" album, which has long since surpassed 100,000 streams on Spotify, and is on its third vinyl pressing in Target and Amoeba stores. Cooley's 2022 solo LP "Forest," and EP "The Circus Rolls On" have received worldwide airplay and critical acclaim. He has been writing, performing and releasing music for over twenty years.</span></span></p><BR><BR><hr><center><div class="AdSpeedVisibleAd" asreq="https://g.adspeed.net/ad.php?do=js&zid=74738&oid=16882&wd=-1&ht=-1"></div></center><center><h4><b><i><a href='https://www.newjerseystage.com/advertise'>Promote your shows at New Jersey Stage! <u>Click here for info</a></u></i></h4></b></div></center><div class="mainarticle"><hr><BR>
