Elizabeth Cook comes to country music naturally; her parents had a working honky tonk band and her first public performance was on-stage with them when she was just a tyke. Early in her recording career, she tried going the mainstream Nashville major-label route, but she was probably too "pure country" for that. Making her home in the indie world, she's free to be herself -- which is how an album as individualistic as Welder came to be. Most of the album is pure Cook, not only because her offbeat sensibility and potent, Dolly Parton-like delivery brand everything she does, but because there's more than a bit of autobiography going on here. Ultimately, Welder is the kind of album that only Elizabeth Cook could make, and that's precisely why it's crucial for her to operate outside the mainstream in which interchangeable artists and songs are the currency and distinctive musical personalities are persona non grata. Long may she reign apart from the music-biz machinery.
