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".
