 Great World of Sound
Craig Zobel chose to film the movie Great World of Sound (Sundance 2007) in Charlotte and the Visulite Theatre had a local premiere. It’s a tale of young aspiring musicians and singers who get lured in by scammers who promise stardom (for enough money). The crooks take the money and run. Two of Chris Cook’s original songs were used in the making of the movie, “Go Back to Sleep” and “The One That Got Away” (Fatfried Music 2004). Hopefully, this movie will stop short the wishful thinkers – there's no short road to fame.

 It's no rumor...


Chris has been recording a record at Danny White's Sixteen Ton Recording Studios. The studio is  located at 1008 Sixteenth Avenue South. That's on Nashville's Music Row! This is a very special recording environment which features vintage equipment and the like. Chris has always held a very high regard for the music of days gone by, so this was a very exciting time. There were some pretty interesting players who joined in on the making of this CD. Bob Babbitt (Funk Brothers - Motown) and Ed Greene (known for his work with Steely Dan, Michael Jackson, Hall & Oates). How awesome that must have been. And if that wasn't cool enough for ya, Chris reported he sang the new songs through a mic Fleetwood Mac once used! The record is scheduled to come out early 2008 and is sure to be a good one.

A Night and a Half with Chris!

Imagine this – 25-cent wings, $2-draft beers and the chance to see and hear Chris Cook live. I really don’t think that life can get much better than that!

Musician helps lift Festival to new heights


Every live music fan knows when it’s happened – that moment when musicians hit such sublime heights that everyone there will remember and be proud to say: “I was there.” It happened last night as Heavy Weather, with guest American vocalist/guitarist Chris Cook, played to a packed Shroppie Fly. The ‘moment’ was an awesome rendition of George Harrison’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps, with Chris and Jim Kirkpatrick’s soaring guitars playing off each other to perfection, driven on by superb bass, drums and keyboards.


At the end of a memorable evening’s music, a visitor was heard to say to his friends: “I’ve heard great pub bands, I’ve heard crap ones. But that was the best ever!”
