Description
In contemporary country music, it’s a rare performer who will dare to take on the industry on her own hogs-and-kisses terms. But for the artist whom Nanci Griffith has called “this generation’s Loretta Lynn,” it takes a certain tenacity to meld smart attitude with classic tradition, the credibility of a life lived with genuine hillbilly passion, and the integrity to write an acclaimed cache of uncommonly cool songs. In other words, for Elizabeth Cook, it takes balls. Balls is the bold declaration of an uncompromising artist unafraid to be exactly who she is. Produced by Rodney Crowell, 9 of the album’s 11 tracks are written or co-written by Elizabeth – including the brash anthem “Sometimes It Takes Balls To Be A Woman” – and the album stands defiant in its devotion to smiles, tears and sexy, sassy swagger. It’s a fiercely independent ride where shuffles, ballads and even the occasional juice harp can soar alongside an exquisite cover of The Velvet Underground’s “Sunday Morning.” Balls is, quite simply, Elizabeth Cook’s unabashed breakthrough. “I still can’t believe I got away with going into the studio and cutting these songs,” she says with a laugh, “I feel like I’ve just robbed a convenience store.”
Tracks: Times Are Tough In Rock 'n' Roll / Don't Go Borrowing Trouble / Sometimes It Takes Balls To Be A Woman / Rest Your Weary Mind / He Got No Heart / Mama's Prayers / Sunday Morning / What Do I Do / Down Girl / Gonna Be / Always Tomorrow.
