“David Cook” set for Nov. 18 release
“American Idol” winner David Cook’s first album on a major record label will be self-titled.
“David Cook” is set for Nov. 18 release. It will include 12 tracks, and the 2008 “Idol” theme “Time of My Life” will be a bonus track.
Cook, who lived in Tulsa before competing on “Idol” recently told USA Today, “I really wanted to show what kind of artist I am going to be for the next five or 10 years,” he says. “And I am not 100 percent sure that (“Time”) fits the record.”
The singer/songwriter/guitarist, who performed tonight on “Saturday Night Live,” also said he is pleased with the album, which he put together on a tight timetable while playing on the “American Idols LIVE” tour, which ended in Tulsa in September.
“There are definitely songs on this record that are heavier than ‘Light On,’” he told USA Today. ”There’s heavy stuff and soft, intimate songs. But there are also songs that really incorporate the idea of ‘Keep it simple, stupid’ with some guitar, some piano and that’s it.”
The album is currently No. 8 on Amazon.com’s best-sellers list.
Amazon.com also is offering customers the option to sign up for notification for when Cook’s highly regarded indie album “Analog Heart” becomes available, so fans who don’t have it apparently will get the chance to buy it soon.

1. Declaration
2. Heroes
3. Light On
4. Come Back to Me
5. Life on the Moon

I think if anyone ever had any doubts they should see how David performed last night on SNL. He was fabulous and I am sure with this first live performance with his new music there had to be some nervousness but it did not showwhile he was performing.
His talent just amazes me what he can do with a song.
I look forward to David being around a lot longer thatn 5-10 years. To me he is an icon to be reckened with and a force that will be remembered for many more years than that.
