What Parents Need to Know
About David Cook
Parents need to know that American Idol winner David Cook delivers family-safe songs dealing with relationships, loneliness, and life on the road via well-written, personal poetry. And while Cook may rock an unshaven look, he's no rebel. There is nothing inappropriate for tweens and teens on this album.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the strong emotions brought up on songs like "Life on the Moon" ("Here in this crowd I'm feeling all alone / turn me around and point me back to home"). Do you ever feel lonely even when there are other people all around you? Is the trade-off for fame necessarily a life of isolation?

Wonderful!
I really enjoy David Cook's CDs. I rooted for him on American Idol, and I still love his music now!!!!! He is a good role model for tweens in the way that he does his own thing and is a real person without the big ego our stars today have. His music is deep and his music is rockin'. The perfect combo!

Pretty Good 3 and 1/2 stars
Not too different from most of the "American Idols", but he does have a good voice.
