Elizabeth Cook Biography

Elizabeth Cook is an American country music singer who made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry on March 17 2000. She has released five albums to date. Balls was produced by Rodney Crowell and nine of the album's 11 tracks were written or co-written by Elizabeth – including the single Sometimes It Takes Balls To Be A Woman. Her next album Welder released May 11 2010 was produced by Don Was. The album received rave reviews.
The youngest of 11 Cook was born in Wildwood Florida. Her mother Joyce played mandolin and guitar and performed on radio and local television in her younger years. Her father Thomas also played string instruments. He honed his skills playing upright bass in the prison band while serving time for running moonshine. Also while serving time at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary for the crime he learned the welding trade to which Elizabeth paid tribute in the title of her 2010 album. After her father was released he and Joyce began playing in local country bands together. Elizabeth was on stage with them at age 4 singing such inappropriate songs as I'm Having Daydreams About Night Things. At the age of 9 she had her own band.
Cook graduated from Georgia Southern University in 1996 with dual degrees in Accounting and Computer Information Systems. In 2000 she independently released The Blue Album; she made her major label debut in 2002 with Hey Y'All. But following a corporate re-structuring that left the album virtually abandoned and stagnant on sales Elizabeth fought back with her 2004 independent release This Side Of The Moon which received positive reviews from The New York Times and No Depression. Her album Balls was released May 2007. It has been her most successful album to date thanks to glowing press reviews and significant video play for the song Sometimes It Takes Balls To Be A Woman. Her 2010 album Welder features appearances by an all-star roster of guests including Dwight Yoakam Crowell and Buddy Miller. Two songs on the album featured in an NPR report at the time of its release were El Camino and Heroin Addict Sister.
