Following her gut has always served Cook well. She grew up in Selma, Ore., to a family that encouraged both of her great passions: country music and horses. “I was brought up really strong in my beliefs,” says Cook, whose major influences include Garth Brooks and Shania Twain. “My family definitely keeps me grounded—and the horses help, too.” Her love of the outdoors can be seen weekly on the Versus network series Goin’ Country, which showcases both her hunting skills and her musical talent. Cook is now hard at work writing songs for her Broken Bow debut with proven tunesmiths such as Dean Sams of Lonestar and Amy Dalley. “It’s rockin’ country, but I have great ballads, too,” she says of her new music. “It’s the music that I’ve always wanted to sing, I’ve just never had a shot at singing it.”
Now she has that shot, and she’s determined to make it count. “This is the first chance that I’ve been given to be the artist that I believe I can be,” she says. “I’m hoping that everybody’s going to like the real me.”
Hoping To Find

She found it
She said it came along
When she least expected it
And she tells me it feels like
Just like she imagined it
It sounds so good
Just like it would
Cause who wouldn't want
Stars shootin' in the night
Fireworks in your hands
A shower of meteorites
The moment you fall
I mean right when it hits
When love lays
It's very first sweet touch
Right on your lips
Something that lights up the sky
Slows down time
That's what I
That's what I'm hoping to find
I'm doin' all right
Without it
Not spendin' my time
Tryin' to find it
And sometimes I let on
Like I don't need it
But I won't lie
It'd be nice
To be in
Cause who wouldn't want
Stars shootin' in the night
Fireworks in your hands
A shower of meteorites
The moment you fall
I mean right when it hits
When love lays
It's very first sweet touch
Right on your lips
Something that lights up the sky
Slows down time
That's what I
That's what I'm hoping to find
Cause who wouldn't want
Stars shootin' in the night
Fireworks in your hands
A shower of meteorites
The moment you fall
I mean right when it hits
When love lays
It's very first sweet touch
Right on your lips
Something that lights up the sky
Slows down time
That's what I
That's what I'm hoping to find
Oh, that's what I'm hoping to find
