Elizabeth Cook Sets New Don Was Produced Album Release
. Welder is the follow up to Cook's 2007's Rodney Crowell produced and critically acclaimed, Balls. Cook chose an eclectic cast of players to record Welder. She started with her road band, which consists of her husband Tim Carroll on guitar, Marco Giovino (Patty Griffin, Robert Plant) on drums and Bones Hillman from Midnight Oil on bass. She turned to some familiar faces and voices from the Grand Ole Opry adding Tim Atwood on keys and The Carol Lee Singers on background vocals. Her most personal collection of songs to date, Welder features vivid snapshots of EC's life ("Heroin Addict Sister" and "Mama's Funeral") as well as witty hillbilly- tinged humor ("El Camino" and "Yes To Booty"). Cook wrote the majority of Welder herself with a few noteworthy exceptions. "I'm Beginning To Forget" was penned by her late mother, Joyce Cook and "Follow You Like Smoke and "Til Then" by Tim Carroll. Don Was also brought her "Not California" by NYC indie folk band, Hem. In addition to her full touring schedule, EC hosts "Apron Strings" on XM/Sirius' Outlaw Country station Monday through Friday 6-10 am Eastern. Every morning, the always witty Cook offers household tips, fashion advice and recipes to legions of devoted fans coast to coast. "Heroin Addict Sister" and "El Camino" are posted for preview on Cook's Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/elizabethcook Track listing: All The Time El Camino Not California Heroin Addict Sister Yes To Booty Blackland Farmer Girlfriend Tonite Rock N Roll Man Mama's Funeral I'm Beginning To Forget Snake In The Bed Follow You Like Smoke I'll Never Know Til Then Tour dates: Mar 18 Antone's (AMA Presents- Official SXSW Showcase) Austin, Texas Mar 25 Beachland Ballroom Cleveland, Ohio (with Paul Thorn) Mar 26 The Ark Ann Arbor, Michigan (with Paul Thorn) Mar 27 Diesel Club Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (with Paul Thorn) Apr 2 All Good Cafe Dallas, Texas Apr 3 Ray Wylie Hubbard's Grits N Groove Fest Fredericksburg, Texas Apr 16 Dosey Doe Spring, Texas Apr 17 Old Settlers Music Fest Driftwood, Texas Apr 22 Rhythm & Brews Chattanooga, Tennessee (with Todd Snider) May 6 The Station Inn Nashville, Tennessee May 7 Blue Plate Special Knoxville, Tennessee (afternoon) May 7 Down Home � Johnson City, Tennessee May 11 Joe's Pub New York, New York May 12 Sellersville Theater Sellersville, Pennsylvania May 13 Birchmere Alexandria, Virginia May 14 Night Cat Easton, Maryland May 15 Five Oaks Clubhouse Durham, North Carolina May 16 Charlotte, NC, Double Door Inn May 18 Kirk Avenue Music Hall Roanoke, Virginia May 19 Ashland Coffee and Tea Ashland, Virginia May 21 Thunderbird Caf� Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania May 22 Spring Gulch Folk Festival New Holland, Pennsylvania May 26 Atlanta, GA � Eddie's Attic May 27 Birmingham, AL - Workplay Theater Jun 3 Opry at the Ryman �Nashville Jun 5 Old Town School of Folk Music Chicago, Illinois Jun 11 Bonnaroo Manchester, Tennessee Jun 20 Turning Point, Piermont, NY Click here to read today's full Day in Pop report Preview and Purchase Elizabeth Cook CDs |
