David Cook’s First Album Rocks As Much As He Does—Must I Say More?

American Idol winner David Cook just released his first album, and--believe me--it rocks! Cook's sincere lyrics, raw voice, and great musical ability burst from the speakers with a flair all their own. Most of the song lyrics were dreamt up by Cook himself. David's voice exemplifies the emotions behind each and every word, though, regardless of whether or not he claims the words. This album proclaims David Cook's initial "Declaration" of his potential, his talent, and his future in the music industry. David Cook is soon to become one of the "Heroes" of the music industry, and he's having the time of his life one song at a time.

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
