ReviewsRolling Stone - "'Our Love Will Change the World' is a jaunty cover of an ironic ditty by the Michigan power-pop group Outrageous Cherry, and in Cooper's hands, it sounds like The Partridge Family on angel dust..."
Additional informationOn his 2019 EP Breadcrumbs, shock rock pioneer Alice Cooper paid tribute to his hometown of Detroit, working in a Detroit studio with a host of musicians from the city recording a smattering of covers of Bob Seger, the MC5, Suzy Quatro, the Dirtbombs, and other Motor City favorites. Full-length album Detroit Stories expands on the theme begun with Breadcrumbs, presenting many of the EP's tracks again and fleshing out the record with new originals and covers. Showing up a second time are high-spirited covers of the MC5's "Sister Anne," Seger's "East Side Story," and original tunes "Go Man Go" and "Detroit City 2021" (updated from its title "Detroit City 2020" on the EP). Exciting new additions include a cover of the Lou Reed-penned song "Rock & Roll," delivered with the same energetic barroom swagger as the early-'70s Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels rendition, and an unexpected cover of longtime Detroit independent rockers Outrageous Cherry's hooky sunshine pop anthem "Our Love Will Change the World." Cooper's longtime producer Bob Erzin delivers the same thick, powerful sound he's achieved on many of Cooper's post-2000s albums, with booming heavy metal drums, walls of guitar, and Cooper's sinister vocals high in the mix. ~ Fred Thomas
