Elizabeth Cook
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 an era of fabricated fame, Elizabeth is the real deal," says Rodney Crowell, the legendary singer/songwriter whose work as producer has also included acclaimed records with Guy Clark, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Jim Lauderdale and five landmark albums with Roseanne Cash. "Elizabeth has a quirky Loretta sensibility that is positively poetic. She's got that Emmylou quality that inspires those around her. Then factor in her amazing family history - You simply cannot make that stuff up."
