There's much to be admired about Elizabeth Cook's sassy, fun ond honest approach to her traditional country that she serves up with a classy, modern twist. On her fourth album Balls, Elizabeth has teamed up with producer Rodney Crowell to unleash another collection of honky-tonk and country ballads the way they used to be played.
Similar in style to Dolly Parton, Elizabeth Cook easily brings out the poppiness of her songs. But like Dolly, she has a commitment to upholding the traditions of country, and she has the same ability to transcend her glamorous image to score feminist points (Sometimes It Takes Balls to Be a Woman) and treat music with a genuine and endearing innocence (Mama's Prayers).
Elizabeth Cook is an authentic country girl, with a foot fairly and squarely in the Americana camp, this being reinforced by the appearance of alt.country stalwart Bobby Bare Jr. on Rest Your Weary Mind. And let's be honest, who can name the last Opry singer to have covered a Velvet Underground song? Check out Sunday Morning.
With the support of her new label Thirty Tigers, Balls should see Elizabeth move up a few levels in public awareness and popularity, and do it without sacrificing any of her charm and old-school country appeal.
