And it is an honor and awe-inspiring in this hard-knock town to still be standing today and have the opportunity to celebrate that.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 2007, \u003cem\u003eBalls\u003c\/em\u003e was a career-defining moment for Cook as an independent voice in the Americana scene. The 11-song collection was produced by Rodney Crowell and features contemporary classics like “Mama’s Prayers” and “Rest Your Weary Mind” (featuring a duet with Bobby Bare, Jr.), alongside the gorgeous genre-breaching cover of Velvet Underground’s “Sunday Morning”. But the album’s major marks were made by expressive standouts “Times are Tough in Rock N’ Roll” and “Sometimes It Takes Balls to Be a Woman”, which set Cook on a path toward individuality and artistic self-discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cem\u003eBalls\u003c\/em\u003e, Cook jumped the gap between mainstream conformity and artistic independence by tightening her signature sound and working in additional elements of humor and authenticity. While taboo at the time, such creative and wry choices had a ripple effect and are now load-baring characteristics for successful Americana artists such as Margo Price, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Lilly Hiatt, and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Are Tough In Rock 'N Roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Go Borrowing Trouble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSometimes It Takes Balls To Be A Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRest Your Weary Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe Got No Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMama's Prayers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunday Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Do I Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGonna Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 793888921818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thirty One Tigers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.24.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53234858393760,"sku":"793888921818","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4098941-3167287.jpg?v=1770369423","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/elizabeth-cook-balls-15-year-anniversary-vibrant-peach-lp","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
