1997 CD
In My Own Way - Michael Bruce
Back in '74 after The Alice Cooper Group took a well deserved
rest. During this time they decided to work on solo projects. Michael
Bruce and Neal Smith were shopping around record labels to promote their
solo records. Bruce was the only one to be picked up by a record label
unfortunately through Polydor in Germany back in '75.
In '97 it was
reissued on CD in America on OneWay label.
Produced by former Rascals Gene Cornish and Dino
Danelli who also performed on this album. This record also includes
Bob Dolin and Mick Mashbir from the Alice Cooper days on The Billion
Dollar Babies Tour. Poco/Eagles Timothy Schmidt background vocals. Alice
Cooper also appears as guest vocalist on "As Rock Rolls On"
track. Which is a good cut from this album and the only song with an
edge to it. There are quite a few good tracks on this album. I like
"If The Sky Should Fall" as one of my favorites. Michael also
covers The Easybeats hit "Friday On My Mind" which sound close
to the original. You can tell Michael was influence by the 60's bands
like Easybeats, Rascals, Beatles, etc...
This is different from Alice Cooper albums and gives
you an idea where Michael was coming from at the time. So if you are
expecting to hear a "Billion Dollar Babies" or "Sick
Things" this is far from it. This is almost like listening to James
Taylor. Which isn't a bad thing!
