  • About:
    My Favorite Highway are riding high with the May 5th release of their melody-minded debut album, How To Call A Bluff, on Virgin Records. The album is a collection of hook-filled power-pop anthems anchored by frontman and keyboardist Dave Cook’s keenly felt lyrics about searching for purpose in life and the frustration that goes along with the process on such songs as “Getaway Car,” “Simple Life,” and “What Are You Waiting For.”

    In March 2008, the members of My Favorite Highway, which also includes Dave’s cousin Will Cook on bass, Pat Jenkins on guitar, and Bobby Morgentaler on drums, took the money they’d earned from selling more than 18,000 digital and physical copies of their 2006 EP Anywhere But Here (more than 75,000 of its tracks have been downloaded from iTunes) and used it to record How to Call A Bluff with their friend and producer Paul Barber and mixing engineer Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz). The result is a compelling showcase for Dave’s uplifting melodies and expressive vocals, Pat and Dave’s dynamic guitar and piano textures, and Will and Bobby’s rock-solid rhythm section.

    How to Call A Bluff was released independently in July 2008 and has sold nearly 135,000 individual tracks. Two of its songs, “Bittersweet Life” and “Bigger Than Love,” were featured on popular MTV show The Hills, while “What Are You Waiting For” popped up on The City. In February 2008, Alternative Press praised My Favorite Highway for “the type of polished sound you’d expect to hear after the opening bands.” In March, the magazine included them in its “100 Bands to Watch in ’09” list. In November 2008, the band signed with Virgin Records, which has re-released How to Call a Bluff in its entirety, plus two new songs, “Go,” and “Dreamer.”
