Welcome to my
AUDIO RESUME.
These songs were all recorded over the last ten years. I recorded my first “45”
back in 1965, so I’ve been at it for a while. I also recorded commercials for about a
year back in 1980 but the company folded, so clubs and shows were it after that. My latest
commercial endeavor was playing on 30 minute infomercial TV shows for Rocky’s Autos,
modeled after the old Laugh In.

I’ll give you a short explanation of each song and what role I played on each. If you don’t like it, please move on to the next because I don’t believe that these songs follow a genre or pattern; they’re all very different. Thank you for listening.
Smorgas Bored--the new album--Available Soon

Intro:
(Cook)
All
Guitar through Roland GR30 & 33
> Relocate: (Cook) Brand new. I wish I could do just this. Oct. 09
> I'll Be Over: (Cook) 1990 for this one. All home studio stuff, and an obvious drum machine. Use what 'ya got!
> Don't Rock The Boat: (Cook) Original on the Back Trackin' Album.
>
Can’t
Take It with You:
(Cook)
Here’s a
good ‘ol Blues Tune. I wrote this and played and sang everything on it.
This was
done in my home studio.
> The West Texas Wind: (McKaskey) I did all of this one. Another retake of an old Platte River cut.
>
Pain:
(Cook)
Recent. I played everything
on it (drum machine) This was done in my home studio.
>
Chute
Eight: (Cook) I wrote this with the
idea of a “backdrop” for a rodeo type show. A producer was interested in
using this as a theme for a syndicated country radio show. When I went back
to
Cheyenne
to give him a copy, he’d been fired!
> Walkin on the Streets of Denver: (Cook) Here's a "new" one that I wrote in 1970 but never did anything with it. It earned me an audition for Roy Acuff but I ran out of money and had to come back to Denver because a job was waiting.
> Expendable: (Cook) PUNK. Home studio stuff. I can't believe that I remember back to when I was that age, but I do.
> The Road: (Cook) Classic break-up song but with an optimistic ending.
All arrangements, instruments, and vocals performed by Ronn Cook (exp. Don't Rock the Boat)
STUDIO CUTS: works in my home and other studios
»
Fair
Warning:
(Becker) This was written by a
very good friend of mine. It comes from his album “James Becker” I
played slide and electric guitar on this one.
» Clyde's Song: (cover) I don't know where this one came from, but I would like to thank Paul Reed Smith for a wonderful sounding guitar!
»
Wishing
You Were Here:
(Becker)
I played electric on this one and it displays some of my
“trademark” type licks: the tick tock background and the volume pedal
solo stuff.
» Seven Bridges Road: (cover) I figured that I had better put something on here that lets you know that I can sing harmony and have since I started back in 1963. I sing lead vocals as well.
» In
It for the Love:
(cover) I did slide and
two electric tracks on this one. Another low 5th harmony.
»
The
Train: (Adaptation Becker) I figured that I’d
better put a little country flat pickin’ in this some where. An
interesting Jim Becker cover/original song. I guess you’d call it an
adaptation.
» Silverton Train: (cover) I got Lee Sims to come over to the house and sing on this retake of an old record the Platte River Band put out about 30 years ago. I played all instruments on this one.
