Amy Cook began as an indie artist in Los Angeles, self-releasing records and finding success licensing her songs to television and film.

Soon after, she moved to Austin where she recorded "The Sky Observer's Guide" (a collaboration with Los Angeles artist, Amy Adler) and caught the attention of Alejandro Escovedo, who tapped her for opening duties during his "Real Animal" tour.

Opening shows for Heartless Bastards, A.A. Bondy, Escovedo, Chris Isaak, Shawn Colvin, Ben Kweller, Tift Merritt, Leo Kottke, Charlie Mars, Ryan Bingham and others followed.

The album was produced by Craig Street and featured a band including Chris Bruce, Meshell Ndegeocello, Jonathan Wilson, and David Garza.

Amy Cook's songs have appeared in several television shows such as Good Wife, Veronica Mars, Dawson's Creek, Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, Felicity, and Party of Five, amongst others.
