Description
Album features guest appearances by Robert Plant, Patti Griffin and Ben Kweller
Summer Skin represents a new plateau for Cook as an artist. This is the happiest Ive ever been with anything Ive ever recorded, says Cook, I was working with people who really were able to get into my mind and help me let go of my expectations instead of worrying Is this gonna rock hard enough or be rootsy enough or be smart enough? Those people begin with producer Craig Street, whose long list of credits includes Norah Jones, Cassandra Wilson, Joe Henry & k.d. lang. Then comes an all-star band, featuring David Garza (guitar), MeShell NDegeocello (bass), Chris Bruce (guitar) and Jonathan Wilson (drums).
Cook had a few other friends make some special contributions to Summer Skin. Robert Plant sings harmony with Cook on the beautiful Its Gonna Rain, and joins Patty Griffin on the moody Airplane Driver. Ben Kweller co-wrote and sings back up on the catchy rocker Getting To You.
Cooks songs have appeared in a number of TV shows, such as The Good Wife, Veronica Mars, Dawsons Creek, Laguna Beach and The L Word.
