CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Though This Side of the Moon's packaging highlights Elizabeth Cook's fashion-model looks, country music just doesn't get much more down-home than this. Cook's voice combines the trill of early Dolly Parton with the twang of a young Loretta Lynn, while her songwriting shows a disarming, conversational simplicity laced with a warm humor. Such artistry renders the "alt" in "alt-country" meaningless, because the best of this timeless music seems to come from the same place and reflect the same values as the music of George Jones or Hank Williams. Whether admonishing "Cupid" for his bad aim, shuffling onto the honky-tonk dance floor with "Hard-Hearted," or finding romance on the harmony-laden title track, Cook's the real deal. --Don McLeese Similar CDs

CD ReviewsGreatness, not goodness J. D. from Texas | 12/20/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The best traditional country music cd of the past ten years. "Before I Go That Far" is the single best "country" ballad by a female artist since Reba's "Somebody Should Leave", and would be a guaranteed number one hit had it been recorded by an established artist like Leann Womack. "Here's to You" is very nearly as good, and I can't imagine anyone else singing it better than Elizabeth does. The gorgeous title track is so reminiscent of Dolly Parton, I can see why so many reviewers are making the comparison. "Kiss Me Again" is a song I'm sure Reba would like to have recorded, given she hasn't had a great single in more than a decade. The remaining tracks are all worth listening to, but the the above-mentioned 4 tracks which appear consecutively on the album are as good a power play as you are ever likely to hear in modern country music. As you can probably tell, I'm hooked. It's so great to hear a pure country voice that hasn't been corrupted by the Nashville music mill. Hopefully, even better things are yet to come with the impending release of her Rodney Crowell-produced next album. If you're a fan of Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, early Reba, or even Patty Loveless, this album is essential. My only regret is that I just recently discovered this amazingly talented singer/songwriter. Only a chance viewing of one of her videos on CMT's Edge of Country exposed me to this relatively unknown artist. Isn't it ironic? The "Edge of Country". And all this time I thought this kind of music was the real thing. I guess Faith and Tim and all the rest really do rule over country music. Sad, sad, sad." Amazing new talent napershopper | Naperville, IL | 01/11/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "We caught Elizabeth Cook at the Ryman a few months ago and immediately picked up some of her CDs. I have to agree with some of the other reviews that she sounds like a mix of Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn. Loretta Lynn was the first thought that cross my mind when we saw her live and as I listened to the CDs, I could also hear indications of Dolly. My 5 yr old agrees. The first time we listened to This Side of the Moon, he asked if it was Loretta Lynn."
