Cook gets producer for album
David Cook to Team Up With My Chemical Romance Producer for Upcoming Record David Cook Gets "American Idiot" Producer for Album
After David Archuleta fired the first salvo with “Crush," American Idol winner David Cook dropped news about his own debut album, revealing that Green Day's Idiot producer Rob Cavallo will man the boards.
Cook and Cavallo are squeezing studio sessions while Cook fills his obligation to the AI tour, with mid-November still the targeted release date.
Cavallo has also worked with artists like My Chemical Romance, Kid Rock, Avril Lavigne and, currently, the Dave Matthews Band. Cook has also had writing sessions with Collective Soul's Ed Roland, hoping to carve out a rock record “that's true to himself."
I think he's a great producer with the kind of sound that I want. And in talking to him, he's just a good guy. Like the song selection I had on the show, Rob just fit.
