David Cook Gets “American Idiot” Producer On Board for Album

8/5/08, 1:18 pm EST

From American Idiot to American Idol: 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. “I think he’s a great producer with the kind of sound that I want,” Cook told 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.” Cook has also had writing sessions with Collective Soul’s Ed Roland, hoping to carve out a rock record “that’s true to himself.”

His presales for his album have been great! So no worries! David Cook rules!

David Cook’s the real deal. I rarely purchase CD’s anymore, but will probably do so in this case. For my money, this is the first year American Idol has gotten it right. I’m also guessing it was the show’s peak.

Disagree whole-heartedly. I am so tired of negativity and disrespect on these forums. The man has talent, originality, and a great voice and deserves the same chance as anyone else to make records. His talent and personality will keep him in the public eye, and the quality of his records will ensure that it will sell. Can’t we give these young people the benefit of the doubt before we take it away? Thanks for listening.

Actually it’s from American Idiot to American Idol then back to American Idiot once his CD’s start selling poorly and a new American Idol winner is chosen.
