Having promised fans a rock record that's true to himself, David Cook has confirmed that the music maven tasked with helping him realize that goal is Rob Cavallo.

The producer has already lent his talents to high profile projects from My Chemical Romance, Kid Rock, and, most extensively, Green Day. Last season's American Idol champion is confident that Cavallo is the right person for his upcoming release.

"I think he's a great producer with the kind of sound that I want," Cook told Entertainment Weekly. "And in talking to him, he's just a good guy. Like the song selection I had on the show, Rob just fit."

Not exact date has been given yet for the release of the debut David Cook album, but you can expect it some time this fall.
