(Austin American-Statesman). . . .. . Jennifer Ellen Cooks smartly written pop songs and dynamic vocal range have been earning her enthusiastic response. On stage, Cook displays a wicked sense of humor and a strong presence. These attributes, in addition to her striking red hair, have led one observer to describe her as Sheryl Crow meets Jessica Rabbit. (Austin American-Statesman, Recommended). . . . . . Jennifer Ellen Cook h as remarkable songwriting abilities, her voice is nothing short of sultry, and she is good to look at. She leaves a lasting impression, carrying with her the personality and sense of humor that make the best people even better. A gre at time out with wonderfully original material. (INsite Magazine, Band of the Month, May 2001). . . . . . Fine vocals and memorable, cast iron melodies. (Austin Chronicle). . . . . . No kidding, Jennifer Cook is the whole package. She has star quali ty, stage presence, strong guitar playing and a whole batch of smartly written songs that draw on folk, rock and pop. Highly recommended. (Feedback Mag). . . . . . Flawlessly arranged songs. A refreshingly unaffected, endearingly pretty voice. (Jason C ohen, Austin Chronicle). . . . . . Jennifer Cook has a terrific voice, but it is her intelligent and articulate lyrics that make her shine. A dynamic performer, she writes the kind of intelligent, literate, song centered acoustic music that flourishes o n the London circuit, in which she would be a natural star. (Music City). . . . . . Wel l crafted ear candy that Squeeze or David Byrne would write if they didnt spend so much time trying to impress us with clever wordplay. And neither has vocals quite like Cooks wondrous range and tone. Onstage she is energetic and self assured without resorting to cockiness. (Austin Chronicle). . . . . . Strong vocals, precise songs. Highly recommended. (Buzz, NY). . . . . . Tight melodies and a surprising range and ability at both vocals and guitar. (Daily Texan). . . . . . THE AUDIENCE (Audience reviews of Jennifers 2001 SXSW show case are from the SXSW Web site.) . . . . . . Cool, original songs and a voice like an angel in heat. What more could you want?. . . . . . Great talent, good voice, creative songwriting, humorous style, captivating stage presence. . . . . . Sexy, sultry, and sarcastic. From great music and lyrics to a relaxed, comfortable rapport with the audience, Cook will leave you w ishing for more. Definitely a show to catch. . . . . . . Jennifer Cook was the highlight performance of the singer/songwriter showcase this evening. Her passionate voice and energetic guitar helped to captivate the audience and her interjection of wit maintained their attention through the breaks while apparent problems with the sound were being handled. I bought her CD based on this performance. . . . . . One of the best vocal talents in Austin. Her soulful singing and musical talent left me wanting more. She is, perhaps, one of the best kept secrets in the Austin music scene. I can't wait to see her next show. . . . . . Poetic and grippingly beautiful songs.
