Looks like Alice Cooper has found that Detroit sound he was looking for.
The musician is set to release a six-track EP titled Breadcrumbs that will pay tribute to Detroit City. The album is described as a “tribute to the garage rock heroes from his hometown.”
“There’s a certain Detroit sound we’re looking for. It’s indefinable,” he tells Billboard. “There’s a certain amount of R&B in it. There’s a certain amount of Motown in it. But then you add the guitars and you add the attitude and it turns into Detroit rock. I feel like if we mine around with all Detroit players, we’re gonna find that sound.”
Per the outlet, Breadcrumbs will feature covers of Bob Seger’s “East Side Story,” the MC5’s “Sister Anne,” Suzi Quatro’s “Your Mama Won’t Like Me” and Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels’ “Devil With a Blue Dress On,” a re-work of “Detroit City” from Cooper’s album Detroit City 2020, and a new song co-written with Wayne Kramer, “Go Man Go.”
Breadcrumbs will be available digitally as well as on 10-inch vinyl pressings later this year.
