All songs on the album were written by him. Though originally released as an independent record on May 6, 2006, ''Analog Heart'' sales jumped during Cook's appearance on the [seventh season](/source/American_Idol_(season_7)) of ''[American Idol](/source/American_Idol)''. ''Analog Heart'' won the ''Urban Tulsa Weekly'''s "Absolute Best of Tulsa" award for "Best Locally Produced, Independent Album" in 2007.{{cite web | title = Shepherds, Idols and Saints | url = http://www.urbantulsa.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A19788 | publisher = Urban Tulsa Weekly | date = 2008-02-13 | access-date = 2008-04-17 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120428124308/http://www.urbantulsa.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A19788 | archive-date = 2012-04-28 | url-status = dead }} The album was chosen as the fourth-best CD released in 2006 by website Music Equals Life.{{cite web | title = Music Equals Life's: Top 7 CD's of 2006 | url = http://musicequalslife.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3:music-equals-lifes-top-7-cds-of-06&catid=2:reviews&Itemid=8 | publisher = Music Equals Life. }} On April 18, 2008, ''Analog Heart'' was listed as the number one album for "Today's Top MP3 Albums" on [Amazon.com](/source/Amazon.com), and David Cook was listed as number one for "Today's Top MP3 Artists".

And I got it pulled offline. But somebody, I have no idea who, reposted it on Amazon, so while that was going on, I was kind of at a loss. I talked to Amazon about getting it pulled, and there was a bunch of mass confusion about it. I'm extremely appreciative at how well it did. But I was kind of a pawn in that whole game."{{cite news | title = 'Idol' champ Cook: 'Life has a weird way of working itself out' | url = https://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2008-05-23-idol-exit-cook_N.htm | publisher = USA Today | date = 2008-05-23 | first=Angela | last=Haupt | accessdate=2010-04-23}} Nonetheless, other pre-''Idol'' albums from [Brooke White](/source/Brooke_White), [Carly Smithson](/source/Carly_Smithson) and [Kristy Lee Cook](/source/Kristy_Lee_Cook) remained on the market. ==Track listing== All songs written by David Cook {{track listing | title1 = Straight Ahead | length1 = 4:14 | title2 = Don't Say a Word | length2 = 4:38 | title3 = Fall Back Into Me | length3 = 3:36 | title4 = The Truth | length4 = 4:48 | title5 = Searchlights | length5 = 4:29 | title6 = Porcelain | length6 = 3:38 | title7 = Stitches | length7 = 4:04 | title8 = Let Go | length8 = 3:20 | title9 = Makeover | length9 = 3:38 | title10 = Silver | length10 = 4:22 }} ==Personnel== *[David Cook](/source/David_Cook_(singer)) - vocals, guitar, piano *Josh Center - drums *[Neal Tiemann](/source/Neal_Tiemann) - guitar (Tracks 4, 5, 8) *DTMB (Monty Anderson) - bass guitar (Tracks 3, 4, 5, 8, 10) *Ben Hosterman - bass guitar (Tracks 2, 7) *[Andy Skib](/source/Andy_Skib) - backing vocals on "Silver" (Track 10) ===Production personnel=== *Produced by [David Cook](/source/David_Cook_(singer)) *Engineered by Ben Hosterman (Tracks 1, 2, 4–10) *Engineered by [Andy Skib](/source/Andy_Skib) (Tracks 4, 5, 8) *Engineered by Paul Johnson (Tracks 3, 10) *Recorded at Powerstudio (Tulsa, OK), Rosewater Studios (Tulsa, OK), and Yellow Dog Studios (Austin, Texas) *Photography by Wayne Hutcherson *Art Concept, Design, and Layout by [David Cook](/source/David_Cook_(singer)) ==References== {{Reflist}} {{David Cook}} {{Authority control}} Category:2006 debut albums Category:David Cook (singer) albums --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Analog Heart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_Heart) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_Heart?action=history)).
