LACE AND WHISKEY
LACE AND WHISKEY - After many years of portraying a dark and sinister persona Alice Cooper decided to try something new and donned the persona of a heavy drinking comic PI named "Maurice Escargot" - a fictional character in the same vein as Inspector Clouseau. Cooper is pictured as Escargot on the back cover of Lace and Whiskey, which was still a rock-based album but was stylistically influenced by Cooper s love for 1940s' and 1950s' movies and music. The album only peaked at #42 in the US and #33 in the UK. -Wikipedia

There are no shocking songs here -- just flat, dull melodies that sound like a bad combination of '50s rock & roll and classic '70s rock.
-
Rolling Stone
his songs lack the old satiric edge and his accompaniment drowns out excitement in professional excess
-
Nike Ladano
The songs are good, they just don’t rock as hard. Disco? So what? One of Kiss’ best albums was a disco album.
-
Ginger Nuts of Horror
An album of two halves, that opens strong and closes weak, but also one that greatly expanded my understanding of Alice as an artist,
-
Metal Excess
2018 - definitely an oddball Alice album. He really went outside the box with this one and dropped the shock rock gimmick, but it’s a good effort for the most part and worth seeking out.

1977 - Lace and Whiskey rings false

There’s plenty of stuff on here to keep me entertained.

Only Solitaire
The guy's really off his rocker here, but with Alice, the madder the guy is the better.

Boring stuff.

Concocting mildly melodic garage MOR for an audience defined by its tolerance for condescension?
