Part 2: The music



Dick Wagner - Guitars, Vocals
Bob Ezrin - Keyboards, Vocals
Steve Hunter - Guitars
Babbitt - Bass
Allan Schwartzberg - Drums
Jim Maelen - percussion, vocals
Jozef Chirowski - keyboards
Ernie Watts - tenor sax and clarinet
"And, of course, Alice Cooper as Vanna White.'cause I'm the queen of the silver screen."

Producer - Bob Ezrin

Peter Gabriel's record (Peter Gabriel) from 1977 features the same band as Alice used in 'Lace and Whiskey' (Dick Wagner, Steve Hunter, Jozef Chirowski, Tony Levin) and it was recorded at the same place also - (Sounstage, Toronto) and it was produced by Bob Ezrin

The first song is '"It's Hot Tonight", which is a good rock/funk song

01/10 - It's Hot Tonight (Cooper, Wagner, Ezrin))



"It's hot tonight; too hot for talkin'
It's hot tonight
I sweat tonight. I sweat, no sleepin'
It's too hot tonight

Dogs are barkin', cats are screamin'
Streets are steamin'
God's own heat's the devil's demon
Yeah.

My turn tonight to burn with fever
I burn tonight
I smoke tonight, I'm all on fire
Damn hot tonight

Summer nights they make me crazy
Makes me all hazy

It's hot tonight, too hot for talkin'
It's hot tonight.
I sweat tonight. I sweat, no sleepin'
It's too hot tonight

Dogs are barkin', cats are screamin',
streets are steamin'
God's own heat's the devil's demon.
Yeah"


The second song is the title track of the album, 'Lace and Whiskey', which is another catchy song

02/10 - Lace And Whiskey (Cooper, Wagner, Ezrin)

Alice Cooper - Vocals
Dick Wagner - Guitars, Vocals
Bob Ezrin - Keyboards, Vocals
Steve Hunter - Guitar
Tony Levin - Bass
Allan Schwartzberg - Drums



"I find myself runnin' in circles
Lost and half insane
And I need a cure sometimes to knock out the pain
So I yell out for some kind of angel
To come down and rescue me
Be as soft as you can, put a drink in my hand.
I'm as scared as I ever could be

Give me lace and whiskey
Mama's own remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
Lace and whiskey

Lots of things I really want, yeah
Lots of things I really need
There's an animal soul inside that I gotta feed
A hot mama, feminine body
Always gets a rise from me
She's so soft in my hands
I give her all she can stand
Make a full fledged man out of me

Give me lace and whiskey
Mama's own remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
Lace and whiskey
Lace and whiskey

I ain't hard-assed
So, babe, don't make me mean
I want a hot place
To grow and show you things

Give me lace and whiskey
Mama's own remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
Lace and whiskey

I`ll end up a broken old hobo with red and yellow eyes
Swearin' and drunk and dyin'.. no one's surprise
That's a long, long way today, babe as far as I can see
So shake off your shoes, go and get me my booze
Lay your love and your laces on me

Give me lace and whiskey
Mama's own remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
Lace and whiskey
Lace and whiskey
Lace and whiskey
Lace and whiskey"
