Today, Alice Cooper – iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductee – revs
up as loudly as ever on his latest solo album “Road” and reveals the first
single “I’m Alice” today.
Produced by longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, it’s written, composed and
recorded with his trusted, longtime bandmates – Ryan Roxie [guitar], Chuck
Garric [bass], Tommy Henrikson [guitar], Glen Sobel [drums], and Nita
Strauss [guitar]. “Road” channels the spirit of old school Alice with instantly
recognizable grit and plenty of gusto. It’s everything you’d hope for from
him and more.
“For Road, I wanted the band to be involved in the foundation of all the
songs,” says Alice. “I only see these guys when we’re on the road. So, I
wanted them to be as tight as they are for the show but on all new material.
When you have a band this good, I believe in showing it off, and this is my
way of doing so.”
The album opener and first single “I’m Alice” sets the tone for the album
with its driving drumbeat as guitars wail in the distance. Alice’s instantly
recognizable rasp takes hold, “I know you’re looking for a real good time.
So, let me introduce you to a friend of mine. I’m Alice. I’m the Master of
Madness; the Sultan of Surprise...so don’t be afraid, just look into my eyes.”

About Alice Cooper
No stranger to doing things his own way, Alice Cooper has cast a longshadow over rock music with an unrivaled live show and timeless anthems
like “School’s Out,” “No Mr. Nice Guy,” and “Poison.” Selling over 50 million
albums worldwide, he earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame® in
2003, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him as part of its class
of 2011. Boasting one of the most influential catalogs in history, Rolling
Stone cited 1971’s platinum-certified Love It To Death among the “500
Greatest Albums of All Time,” while other platinum releases spanned the
seminal Killer [1971], School’s Out [1972], the Billboard 200 #1 Billion Dollar
Babies [1973], Welcome to My Nightmare [1975], and Trash [1989], to
name a few. The latter even graced Rolling Stone’s “50 Greatest Hair Metal
Albums of All Time.” He’s so embedded in generations of popular culture
that he not only made a cult-classic appearance in Wayne’s World during
1992, but he also starred alongside John Legend and Sara Bareilles in NBC’s
2018 production of Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice’s Jesus Christ
Superstar Live in Concert — and also memorably appeared on both The
Muppets and That 70s Show! as well as in Dark Shadows, with pal Johnny
Depp.
Beyond hundreds of syncs, everyone from Etta James, The Smashing
Pumpkins, Megadeth, and The Flaming Lips has covered his tunes. The
Beastie Boys, Disturbed, and countless others have sampled him. His
collaborators have notably included the late Vincent Price, Aerosmith, Guns
N’ Roses, and Jon Bon Jovi, to name just a few. Plus, he co-founded
Hollywood Vampires alongside Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and Johnny Depp.
Most recently, 2021’s Detroit Stories garnered widespread critical acclaim
with Classic Rock grading it “4-out-of-5 stars” and hailing it as “his most
concise bolt of precision-tooled heavy rock in 50 years.” It bowed at #1 on
the Billboard Album Sales Chart, hit #1 in Germany, and garnered 9 Top 10
debuts worldwide.
After thousands upon thousands of gigs and easily a million miles traveled,
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductee revs up as loudly as ever on his
latest solo LP, Road [earMUSIC].
