The last few months have been a whirlwind for hometown singer David Cook. And, Tuesday, November 18 is the tornado.

David Cook sat in a studio in New York doing interview after interview with television stations around the country to promote his new self-titled album. By the time he got to FOX 4 in Kansas City, he only had nine more left.

We asked him if the album felt rushed. Cook said “the whole album felt rushed, but I don’t think it suffered.” He said by not trying to make it “right,” it left the songs with a youthful energy. He said the record is rough around the edges which he appreciates.

Despite Saturday Night Live, Leno and Good Morning America appearances, Cook said he knows who he is. He said his family and friends keep him in check and don’t let his head get too big.

He said he appreciates all 100,000 friends he has on Myspace. And, he hopes to add even more to that list.

Next on Cook’s agenda, he’ll head to Iraq to play for the troops and he’s planning an early 2009 tour.

Before hitting the road for his new album, Cook will return to Kansas City to light up the Plaza. “It’s a huge honor to even be asked. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Cook said.
