“I recorded “One Box of Tissues” because it’s a fun, playful song that I
felt people could relate to. I love how It tricks you with a slow “woe
is me” feel at the beginning, but quickly kicks into an unexpected
toe-tapping, lively tale describing the days following a break-up.” said
Corinne Cook. “I had such a blast recording it and I’m very excited to
share it with everyone!”
“When I recorded Corinne on this song, her vocal personality knocked me
out. She delivered the character perfectly in the first verse…sad,
broken hearted and serious,” said producer, Denny Martin. “With a major
tempo change, she tells us about her solution to the tears from a break
up. This is new “old school” and Corinne is the perfect singer for the
song.”
Think Country
reviewed the single on their online music news platform yesterday
stating, “The song starts off slow with some great harmonies, then it
grabs you with the line, “My heart follows Seven Rules so I don’t feel like a fool,” that’s when the song catches you and makes it real for any break up situation.”
On “One Box of Tissues,” a spirited post-breakup to-do list, Nashville
country artist, Corinne Cook, delivers her signature “never let them get
to you” attitude with a deceptively sincere intro of the song that
evolves into unexpectedly lighthearted vocals. Cook is supported by
notable Nashville musicians and friends, including producer Denny Martin
(who also contributed guitar) along with Scott Neubert (Emmy Lou
Harris, Larry Gatlin), William Ellis on drums (Montgomery Gentry,
Martina McBride), keyboardists Steve Peffer (Wade Hayes, Alabama) and
Gene Rabbai (T.G. Sheppard), and Dow Tomlin on bass (Wynonna Judd,
Sugarland).

About Corinne Cook:
While still engaging in a whirlwind balancing act both personally and professionally, Corinne Cook
has enjoyed a handful of accolades for her previous albums. “I Don’t”
from her 2015 release Dressed Up For Goodbye won a Nashville Industry
Music Award (NIMA) for Song of the Year in 2016. Her debut album I’m Not
Shy included two tracks that reached the Top 5 on the Inside Country
chart; #1 hit “Uninvited Guest” and the title track, which reached #4.
Cook’s current project, Yes I Can, marks an important breakthrough for
Cook as a songwriter of great storytelling skill and depth. The
California native has been accumulating and telling stories all her
life, all grounded in her years growing up in an intensely musical
family in the Central California towns of Tracy and Escalon. She has
fond memories of family jam sessions with her mom on guitar, step dad on
bass and brother beating on the chairs (drums) while she sang.
Overcoming her initial shyness about performing, she participated in
choir from middle school through high school and was selected to sing
several solos in high school performances. She later incorporated
singing into her stint in the Air Force, which she joined after
graduation at 17. Corinne was in technical school for her job as a
medical lab technician when the Gulf War began. During technical school
at Keesler AFB in Mississippi, she was involved with a group of
musicians and actors who performed “dinner shows” for other military
members and their families. After technical school, she was stationed at
Travis AFB during the time of the Gulf War. She returned home to Tracy
after her military service, and a few years later, she won a singing
competition at a bar in Riverbank, CA. The prize was supposed to be a
pro recording contract, but instead the host of the contest, Leon
Womack, became her manager who funded a trip to Nashville to record
songs that ultimately led to her first album. Reconnecting with her
passion for singing and performing, Corinne began singing at festivals
in Northern California and worked part time as a radio DJ for the
classic country station 93.9 “The Ranch” in Ripon, CA. As her radio
persona “Ranch-Hand Jane,” she hosted karaoke for the station at various
venues and presented legendary country artists like Charlie Daniels and
Johnny Lee when they performed in town. Fully committing to the dreams
that are now coming to fruition, Corinne moved to Nashville, to focus on
developing her career as a singer and songwriter.
