Seventy-five-year-old Alice Cooper has more miles on him than a 1968 Volkswagen, and in any given year, he’s probably on tour somewhere near you.
), Cooper offers up another one on “Road,” with 13 songs that deal with aspects of life as a touring rock band.
From the lights-on adrenaline rush , to painful goodbyes to a loved one at the start of a tour , to the disorienting lack of a schedule after the tour ends , this is a look at Alice on the road, from the inside. It also introduces us to stalkers , a gorgeous truck stop waitress , and a maniacal truck driver . The latter is at least the third Alice Cooper song to use ”Frankenstein” in its title.
The song writing is clever, catchy and multi-layered, as usual. And this time, Cooper had his full touring band write and record the album, including the triple guitar attack of Nita Strauss, Ryan Roxie and Tommy Henricksen. The sound is at once old and new, with references to past Cooper glory including the lyrics “like it/love it” hearkening back to 1970’s
