About the Artist
Born in Fayetteville, Arkansas to a college professor and a homemaker and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and the mid-western plains of Missouri, Suzy Elkins moved to Hattiesburg, Mississippi as a twelve-year-old and still calls it home. Coming of age an hour away from the Gulf Coast and two hours away from New Orleans gave some respite to the southern shade tree ennui of a small Mississippi town and life in the Bible belt.
Suzy's early influences combined the roots music of her home state and the radio signals tuned in from Chicago, Shreveport, Little Rock, and New Orleans which eventually brought the sounds of British rock to the south as well as the rest of the country. "Irma Thomas played at my first dance. I was also listening to The Beatles, The Stones, Marianne Faithfull, and Marty Robbins' gunfighter ballads." R.S. Field has sometimes called the melding of southern roots music with British invasion the "have mercy beat" or "mod-a-billy."
Her main influences continue to be a group of musicians who came out of this birthland and eventually migrated out of Mississippi to larger markets. This group includes Omar Dykes, Webb Wilder, R.S. Field, and Gerry "Phareaux" Felton.
As a songwriter, Suzy has written songs covered by Nanci Griffith, Webb Wilder, RRAF (R.S. Field), Toni Price, and Alan Rhody as well as her own projects. She signed with Bluewater Music in Nashville as a writer and artist.
After the birth of her son, Suzy moved back to Mississippi where she still plays shows both electric and acoustic, but before leaving Austin she recorded the tapes that would become the cd, GLASS SLIPPERS (Just Hurt My Feet) (Vertical Records), a division of Bluewater Music, produced by her long-time pal and co-writer, R.S. Field. "I'm very pleased that this could come out and hope someone will want to dance along or just howl at the moon or cry with the sad notes! It rocks out very nicely, I think."

Ringing roots rock from Mississippi's Blitzkrieg Chanteuse.......2003-12-05
Suzy's smokey vocals are accompanied by a crack band that includes Gerry "Phareaux" Felton (one of the Big Guitars from Texas alumni), Danny Thorpe, and David Grissom and her songs include compositions co-written with R. S. Field (Webb Wilder's penman) and other "Americana" roots music stalwarts. Suzy has written or co-written songs that have been covered by artists such as Wilder, Toni Price, and Nanci Griffith, but her own interpretations are unique, and this record is a gem of crackling musicianship and soulful singing. They don't make 'em like this anymore, or at least, not often enough. "Bad Attitude" opens the album with a declaration of defiance; the following "Get Lost" is the greatest hit the Rolling Stones never recorded, with a killer guitar riff straight out of 1968; then just when you think this is a one-dimensional record, a sweet, Chrissie Hynde-ish pop ballad takes you in a different direction, softer but not soggy, all shimmering guitars and wishful lyrics.
The rest of the CD is like that -- always smart, sometimes sassy, but never phoney; built solid as a sedan and ringing with Mississippi twang and Texas toughness, the product of Suzy's bi-coastal career. Hurricanes, ghosts, speeding cars, falling towers, and even wistful regrets waltz in and out of what is essentially a sequence of short stories in song form, tuneful and economical. My chief complaint is that the album is too short -- the label has held back a number of outstanding tracks that would provide better value for money as well as showcasing Suzy's multivarious singing and songwriting talents.

And don't forget your black sunglasses and your margarita with a twist of lime. Prepare to do the fandango.
