Alice Cooper's "Breadcrumbs" is a thrilling journey back to the raw, rebellious energy of Detroit's garage rock scene, paying homage to the city's influential music heroes. Originally released as a limited-edition vinyl EP in 2019, this expanded CD reissue features two bonus tracks, including a live recording of "Go Man Go" from Hellfest 2022, offering fans a fresh perspective on Alice Cooper's enduring legacy.
The album kicks off with "Detroit City 2020," a modern take on the classic "Detroit City" from Alice Cooper's early days, setting the stage for a high-energy exploration of the city's musical heritage. Tracks like "Go Man Go" and "East Side Story" capture the gritty, unpolished sound of the late 60s and early 70s punk scene, while "Your Mama Won't Like Me" and "Sister Anne" showcase Alice Cooper's signature wit and dark humor.
The EP also includes a dynamic cover of "Devil with a Blue Dress On / Chains of Love," blending two classic tracks into a seamless, hard-hitting rock anthem. Produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin, "Breadcrumbs" is a testament to Alice Cooper's enduring influence and his ability to reinvent himself while staying true to his roots.
With its blend of glam rock, hard rock, and proto-punk influences, "Breadcrumbs" is a celebration of the music that shaped Alice Cooper's career and a nod to the city that inspired it all. This reissue, featuring additional bonus tracks, is a essential addition to any rock fan's collection, offering a fresh take on the classic sounds that defined a generation.
