Aoba47, would you like to write a blurb for this one? (We're finishing up the blurbs for FACs promoted in September). - Dank (push to talk) 16:28, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Aoba47: I will definitely try. If possible, could you send me a link to a recent TFA blurb about an album? I am not used to writing this kind of thing so it would be nice to have a reference to go of off to make sure I do not mess anything up there. Aoba47 (talk) 16:58, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
- Sure ... check out WP:TFAA for November 4, August 14 and/or August 30. - Dank (push to talk) 17:25, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Blurb edit
Hey Y'all is the second studio album by American singer Elizabeth Cook (pictured), released on August 27, 2002, by the Warner Bros. record label. Prior to Hey Y'all, Cook had independently released her debut studio album The Blue Album (2000) and performed over 100 times at the Grand Ole Opry. A country album, Hey Y'all includes influences from gospel, honky-tonk, and pop music. The lyrics focus on Cook's childhood and personal life, as well as on more sexual topics. Reviewers attributed a twangy quality to Cook's voice, which they likened to that of other country singers, including Dolly Parton. Critics praised the album's traditional country sound and Cook's songwriting. Retrospective reviews remained positive, although some commentators preferred her later releases. The album had one single, "Stupid Things". Hey Y'all was commercially unsuccessful, was not played on country radio, and was not heavily promoted. Cook left Warner Bros. in 2003 and pursued a career in independent music. (Full article...)
