Needless to say, I have it, heard it in the car over the weekend. It's an "Alice Cooper does covers" album in all but name. Aunt Alice sings all tracks or co-sings them and to be fair - as cover albums go - there is not a single track that is awful. And Alice manages to even give a chestnut such as Whole Lotta Love a new angle. Funnily enough, I like what he does with (or to!) The Doors best, maybe that is because Alice C. is like the great late Jim M. essentially a non-singer with a one-of-a-kind voice. When I heard it I thought that the remaining Doors should have perhaps toured with him.
Johnny D is btw an adep(p)t guitarist, the few non-covers are written by him, Alice and Ezrin, the guitar playing is suitably raunchy.
In many ways a tribute to Alice's 60ies influences. Pleasant, but hardly mandatory. He has his old rhythm section of Dunaway/Smith on School's Out which is largely unchanged except for the Brian Johnso co-vocals and the interpolation of Floyd's Another Brick which Alice has been playing in his live set for ages.
If you lilke Alice's voice, like I do, then you will neither be disappointed nor elated by this release. I personally prefer him when he is more edgy. Oh yeah, the romp through Come And Get It with Sir Paul is good fun though you wonder what the Scouser made of it all. They've taken all the upbeatness of the Badfinger version out of it and grunged it up a little.
