COOPER,ALICE - DETROIT STORIES Vinyl LP

Named for the city that launched the original AliceCooper groupon the road to success,"Detroit Stories"follows last year's "Breadcrumbs" EP as a modern-day homage to the toughest and craziest Rock n Roll scene there ever was.In 1970,fledgling producerBob Ezrinwalked into a farmhouse on the outskirts of Detroit to work with the AliceCooperband. Abandoning flower power Los Angeles, because they were the opposite of the hippie peace and love ideal,Alice hadbrought his decidedly darker gang back to his birthplace to the legendary rock scene that gave birth to hard rock, garage rock, soul, funk, punk...and more.Ezrin drilled the band for 10 hours a day to define their signature sound. Whenever they nailed a song, the inmates at the hospital for the criminally insane across the road cheered and thus the classic AliceCoopersound was born.

"Los Angeles had its sound with The Doors, Love and Buffalo Springfield,"says Alice Cooper,"San Francisco had the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. New York had The Rascals and The Velvet Underground. But Detroit was the birthplace of angry hard rock. After not fitting in anywhere in the US (musically or image-wise) Detroit was the only place that recognized the Alice Cooper guitar-driven, hard rock sound, and our crazy stage show. Detroit was a haven for the outcasts. And when they found out I was born inEast Detroit... we were home."

50 years laterAliceandEzringathered some legendary Detroitmusicians in a Detroit studio to record DetroitStories,Alice Cooper'snew album that celebrates that spirit for a new era. If 2019's "Breadcrumbs" EP laid down the trail to the city,Detroit Storiesdrives like a muscle car right down Woodward Ave. Discover Detroit Stories as they were meant to be told.
