Album Notes Personnel: Tim Pierce (guitar); Rob Cavallo (guitars, piano); Neal Tiemann (guitars); Jamie Muhoberac (piano, organ, keyboards); Paul Bushnell (bass instrument); Dorian Crozier (drums, programming). Audio Mixer: Chris Lord-Alge. In the epic David vs. David face-off at the end of AMERICAN IDOL's seventh season, teen pop sensation David Archuleta was decisively defeated by more experienced rock performer David Cook, who issued this 2008 self-titled debut a week after Archuleta's own album. Aided by a veritable army of veteran alt-rock songwriters, including Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls) and Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace), Cook shines brightest with "Light On," a soaring anthem co-penned by Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave).
