Alice Cooper Re-teams with Bob Ezrin on New Album

One of music's most esteemed producers will enter the studio with shock-rock god Alice Cooper for the first time in over a quarter-century to work on the Coop’s upcoming album.
It's great news to fans of immortal records like 'Welcome to my Nightmare', 'School's Out', 'Love It to Death' and 'Billion Dollar Babies' – all of which were created with Bob Ezrin at the boards – and the latest collaboration is reportedly just one of many projects coming out of a joint venture between the two music titans.
“Our whole company is over the moon about this collaboration,” the producer announced, referring to the outfit Bigger Picture, a joint venture between Ezrin, Cooper and manager Shep Gordon – the latter of which recently helped orchestrate the “Gruesome Twosome” tour with Cooper and Rob Zombie, and whose Alive Enterprises helped finance John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness (which featured Alice in a small role) and Village of the Damned.
“It's a reunion with the first artist I ever produced and the first great manager I ever worked with. I couldn't be happier.”
According to a recent article on Blabbermouth, Bigger Picture will have a hand in Cooper's upcoming output across a variety of different media – including Alice's upcoming concept album 'The Night Shift', on which Ezrin will take the helm as producer.
Bob's legendary status comes from his celebrated work with artists like Pink Floyd, Kiss, Lou Reed, Nine Inch Nails and many more – but his roots go way back to those early Cooper classics.
“It feels great to be working with Bob again,” Alice commented. “Lightning has struck more than once in the past with Bob's involvement, so we feel great that we're onto something really electrifying now that we're together again.
The album we're crafting is, in some ways, a 'shriekquel' to what's gone before and there's no better guy to oversee things than Bob.”
