American Idol finalist Kristy Lee Cook made it to the next step, post-Idol – she just signed a record deal with 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville. Her first single, 15 Minutes of Shame, will land August 11, with plans for a fall album.

This isn’t Kristy Lee Cook’s first record deal either – she was signed to Arista Nashville as a teenager, but was dropped before the recording happened.
