Today, revered country singer-songwriter Elizabeth Cook announced the upcoming release of Great Television, a new studio album exquisitely blending country and rock and roll, produced by Shooter Jennings, and to be released August 14 via Thirty Tigers (Pre-save/order HERE.) The Florida-bred, Nashville based singer-songwriter maps the hidden corners of the American experience from both a deeply personal perspective and a place of reflecting on historical events and their ripple effects. 

Recorded with Cook’s live band at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, Great Television features collaborations with country music royalty Wynonna Judd, and marks a commanding new addition to a formidable catalog. Her first new project since 2020’s Aftermath, Cook is on a mission to illuminate the type of lives typically sidelined in the dominant media narrative and the emotional truth buried within long-overlooked histories. 

The first single from the album, released today, is the thrilling track, “Razorwire Wall” which finds Turnpike Troubadours’ Evan Felker joining Cook for a hot-blooded love song inspired by dropping her ex-boyfriend off at jail. 

“Razorwire Wall is a song about when fierce love finds fierce people. Having a voice like Evan Felker join me is probably gonna cause a lot of fence damage.” shared Cook.

The LP arrives alongside the theatrical release of The Easy Kind (premieres tonight, June 3rd, at IFC in NYC) —a narrative film about her life as an artist fundamentally resistant to Nashville music conformity, tracing a turbulent journey that began with singing on bar stages with her parents’ band at just four years old. The film stars Elizabeth alongside David Letterman (playing a version of himself), Karen Allen, Susie Essman, Melissa Jackson and Charles Esten, all playing characters in the semi-fictional version of Elizabeth’s life and directed by Katy Chevigny in her narrative feature debut. The movie will have an Oscar-qualifying run for a week after the initial NYC premiere, with special guests at select screenings for Q&As.
