Dick Wagner - Richard
Wagner 
Self title as Dick uses his full name Richard. This
is also released in 1978 but different than Early Frost. Quite a number
of people credited on this album came from Alice's solo tours. There
are more musicians but I'm just noted the Alice related artist. Produced
by Bob Ezrin and Brian Christian who both produced Steve Hunter's album
too. Musicians that played with Alice goes as followed Drums by Whitey
Glan and Allan Schwartzberg, bass by Prakish John, guitar by Richard
Wagner and Steve Hunter, keyboards by Bob Ezrin and Fred Mandel. Alice
didn't contribute any lyric or vocals but Wagner gives special thanks
to Alice Cooper on the inside credit sleeve.
So this comes out the same year as Early Frost but by
listening to it the songs are much better than previous one. Maybe touring
with Alice has rubbed off on Wagner. By no means is this sounding like
an Alice Cooper album but it's lyrics and musical arrangements are an
improvement. Wagner's vocals are stronger. Also Richard does some guitar
solos that show his gift as an axeman. One of my favorite tracks is
"Don't Stop The Music". |
