Cooksie made three records, and Matt and John made another one under the name Cook Bros. The first was “Whiskey Slide,” recorded in 1999 by Matt and John to a four-track cassette machine over the course of a week in a cabin in the foothills of Sierra Nevadas. Then came “Liquorland” in 2001, made at Stroppy Analog Recording in Chicago, with John flying in from New York for weekend sessions. By 2003, John was living in Chicago and Cooksie made “Come See My Band,” its first record as an actual working, rehearsing band, at King Size Sound Labs. In 2006, Matt and John made “A Flock of Birds Flew Into My Mouth” as the Cook Bros. in Matt’s basement.
