"With the American Idol tour stopping in 49 cities, he has a lot of work ahead of him but there is a rock fan who would like to help him. Hard rockers Hinder, best known for their 2006 hit power ballad “Lips of an Angel”, say that they “dig David Cook” and they would like to write some songs for him.
Hinder was in the audience at the American Idol finale and they were able to briefly meet Cook. Cook is apparently a fan of Hinder also."
This from EW.com:
Hinder to David Cook: 'We'll write with you'

David Cook's already packed schedule is about to get more demanding. With the American Idol tour kicking off tonight and booked through September 22, the season 7 champ will have to juggle concert dates with studio time in order to make the deadline for an early November album release. But one band is willing, if not eager, to help: hard rockers Hinder, best known for their 2006 hit power ballad "Lips of an Angel." "I dig David Cook," says singer Austin Winkler, a native of Oklahoma, where Cook has lived for the past few years. "He shows that the world is starving for a little bit of rock-n-roll. Hopefully we can write some tunes for him."
According to Hinder, who were in the audience for this year's Idol finale and met the winner briefly that night, the admiration is mutual. "I heard he's a fan," Winkler tells EW.com. "I'm sure we'll cross paths." Meanwhile another Hinder member is holding out for a chance at some face time with a female Idol champ: Carrie Underwood. "I love her," says drummer Cody Hanson (no relation to Tulsa's Hanson brothers.
* Others to be apart of David's album
-John Reznezk (Goo Goo Dolls)
-Raine Maida (Our Lady of Peace)
Ed Rolland, Collective Soul's frontman and lead vocal
Already working with Ryan Tedder (One Republic) and Jesse McCartney on the new album.

OH and I read on DC.org that Hook'd on Cook was talking to David about Analog Heart and he said some songs that didn't make it on that album will be on the new one coming out in November! I'm so happy that 19 recordings are letting him do that.

 American Idol winner David Cook is currently at work on his debut
album (due in November). His goal? ''Something that's undeniably me.'' Not that he won't take help from his own idols: ''I got to write with Ed Roland from Collective Soul, Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace.... I'm gonna keep a few close to the vest. I like surprises. www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20210536,00.html |

Interesting article about the new album. Will TOML be on it? I think it won't, if it's a rock cd, well it's kind of not in the same vibe... i would buy the song tho. hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/08/david-cook-rob.htmlDavid Cook has promised to make a rock record that's true to himself, and the American Idolwinner has confirmed that the studio maestro tasked with helping him realize that goal is Rob Cavallo. The producer has already lent his talents to high profile projects from My Chemical Romance, Kid Rock, and, most extensively, Green Day, including their Grammy Award-winning album American Idiot, and Cook is confident that Cavallo is the right person for his upcoming release. "I think he's a great producer with the kind of sound that I want," Cook tells EW.com. "And in talking to him, he's just a good guy. Like the song selection I had on the show, Rob just fit." The two are currently squeezing in studio time whenever the Idol summer tour allows, and Cook still plans to release the album in mid-November. As previously reported, Cook has had writing sessions with Our Lady Peace's Raine Maida and Collective Soul's Ed Roland, but there's one person who isn't involved with the album: industry vet Clive Davis, the man who executive produced all of the Idols' debuts, but whose role at SonyBMG, where he's currently Chief Creative Officer of SonyBMG Worldwide, has shifted. "I never heard his name brought up," Cook said. That may free up Cook to make his own decision about whether to include his Idol finale single, "The Time of My Life," on the album. (Being forced to include agenerally-sappy but familiar song on a decidedly rock debut had been a bone of contention for one previous winner, Taylor Hicks, who reportedly resisted having "Do I Make You Proud" on his album.) Cook hasn't yet made the call about the single. "It's not like there's any resistance to [the song]," he says. "My goal is to make a cohesive record, and I don't want any song to stick out like a sore thumb. But in every meeting that I've had with 19 [Management] and RCA [Records], they've been very supportive of what I want to do with my record."

the sooner the better!
Personally since Cook won the competition, I thought his album should be out first, followed by Archie and others, I read that orginally Archie and Kristy Lee's album were gonna be released before Cook's (Mid November)

Save the best to the end  To me is also, the sooner the better, but since he's more involved in the new cd than the other idols, i think it has to take more time...cause it's gonna be awesome! And Is it official, November?? |

I just got a mail from dc.org, and we know the name of the Album!  Now that we have the first single to hold us down for the next two months, another "newsflash" is the title of David's debut album, "Out Of My Head."Nice name! I don't think this album is gonna have something that i don't like, at all. |
