Tales from the road

I recently had the great pleasure of tour managing Nashville’s Elizabeth Cook round the UK.  Here is a nice review from The Independent:

Elizabeth Cook, The Borderline, London (Rated 4/5) – by Matilda Battersby – Thursday, 13 January 2011

Greeting us with a characteristic “Hey, y’all”, Elizabeth Cook delivered a piece of Nashville to London last night. Like a life-size Barbie doll in a figure-hugging dress and cowboy boots, she tossed her blonde mane and clapped her hands together girlishly before wrapping her glossed lips around a set more emotive than the EastEnders baby-swap plot.

Cook’s not joking when she says her family provided her with “plenty of material”. Her mother was a “hillbilly singer” from Charleston who met her moonshine-runner daddy soon after he left Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. Her music is filled with tributes, both stark and humorous, to her kin.
