We’re not sure what it means when the top “suggestion” on youtube when we go to this video is Katy Perry’s “Waking Up in Vegas.” Maybe that’s just a personal suggestion for Austin Sound, because the Google overlords are clearly onto us. Or maybe there is actually more of affinity between Amy Cook and Katy Perry than we realized? We actually didn’t even know Katy Perry actually sang - we thought she was on a reality show or something. Amy Cook, on the other hand, has proven quite worthy of the attention she’s gotten - topless Chronicle cover and all. That will sell some papers! Oh wait, they’re free. “Hotel Lights” is hands down the best tune on her recent album, Let the Light In, and the video matches the tune in quality. Directed by Daniel Gibbs, the video was shot at the Hotel San Jose and Hotel Saint Cecilia (duh) and down at the Pearl Brewery (why not?). The video release also corresponds with today’s vinyl release of Let the Light In, and Cook’s show tonight at the Cactus Cafe. Cook will also be playing Blues on the Green on August 4th.
