5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant! June 11, 2010

By Eric

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

All over the place or diverse? This album ranges from one spectrum to another. Fans of her previous work can enjoy Yes to Booty as an upbeat song warning her man to choose her over beer. El Camino moves along and is a bit trippy, which touches on her other influences. Then you hear tracks like Girlfriend Tonight or Mama's Funeral, you get the ballads that bring you back to an old-school Nashville sound. In my opinion, the coup de grâce of this album is Heroin Addict Sister. Knowing of her Florida roots and listening to that song, I can't help but believe it is written on true family experience as much of her music is. The brilliance of this album is how it can take you "all over the place". Elizabeth is virtually in a genre of her own, writing and playing guitar on most of the 14 tracks along with her own band. To me, it is a refreshing change from the bubble-gum-country sounds coming out of Nashville. In the end...diverse.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not that same old Nashville drivel. June 5, 2010

By Sister Carrie

Format:Audio CD

This album is smart and diverse. The songs are very well written and full of emotion. They also reveal Elizabeth's best writing to date. Stories of love, loss, mistakes and triumph with no excuses for the cards dealt, choices made and the life lived. Many show her sense of humor. Her charm is evident in every performance. The musicianship is excellent. Each instrument supports the song, and quite simply sounds fresh unlike the music that most frequently comes off Nashville's record row. Nashville is full of talent, and I just can't buy another record recorded by the same six guys. Is this a country album? You bet it is. Is it a pure throw back to the 60's? Not hardly. I hear that character in the songs like the best of Loretta, and Dolly, but I also hear an artist that had her chance to deliver her best effort on her terms that is exciting and enjoyable. Don Was is an excellent producer. It is clear that he did not get in the way of her vision, and helped the artist make the recording that they wanted to make. The best way to get this record heard is to buy it listen to it, play it for your friends, and request it on radio, and most importantly just enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elizabeth hits a home run ! May 24, 2010

By Stephen Johnson

Format:Audio CD

Forget the pap on country radio and check out the future of Nashville singers. Elizabeth is produced by Don Was on this one and it seems hands off and let it ride were the order of business. Just a great and soulful country record with a slice of humor for fun. This is the real deal girls and boys. By the way, when was the last time you heard soulful used to describe anything comming out of vanilla city, this is that good !
