Kristy Lee Cook is wild at heart. Her untamed spirit comes through in everything she does, whether she’s singing her heart out onstage or in the studio, riding her favorite horse or hunting in thick woods for her hit TV show. That passion guided her as she packed ‘em in for years on end at the Dallas nightclub Cowboys, found sudden fame as a finalist on TV juggernaut American Idol, scored a hit with her song “15 Minutes of Shame”—and now, as she prepares her first album for Broken Bow Records.
