There can be no mention of classic rock without including Alice Cooper.
Cooper’s influence on the hard rock/shock rock genre is legendary. Following his ’70s superstardom, subsequent decades saw the singer become as well-known for his golf game as his glam one.
But his Bob Ezrin-produced early albums such as Love It To the Death and Welcome to My Nightmare remain essential listening for emerging rockers. The artist has recognized this lately. His live show is dominated by early material.
Now he has reunited with Ezrin and a bunch of famed players from the heyday of the late-’60s and early-’70s Michigan scene for Detroit Stories. An homage to the place that first embraced the Alice Cooper band’s wild stage antics and high volume attack, the album follows the well-received Breadcrumbs EP which included covers of fellow scene stars such as Suzi Quatro and the MC5.

February is Black History Month. And, it just so happens that Montana is home to a man who went from humble beginnings in MT to helping ignite the Harlem Renaissance.
The story of Emmanuel Taylor Gordon goes back to 1893, in the small town of White Sulphur Springs, Montana. Taylor parents handled cooking and laundry in the busy mining/cattle town. Growing up in this small town, and being one of the only black kids didn t seem to bother Taylor much. He had no problem making friends and living the Montana way of life. As you can tell by the photo below, Taylor and his crew almost resemble the Little Rascals.
