“Great Unknown Songs #11 – Alice Cooper “(Inmates) We’re All Crazy”

Vincent Furnier

Alice Cooper is shock rocker with awesome ballads with heavy lyrics, like “(Inmates) We’re All Crazy” from the album “From The Inside” (1978).

The album is a concept about Cooper’s stay in a psychiatric rehab facility where he went to treat his alcoholism in 1977-1978. The entire album is about the people he met there and his recovery.

Unlike many image-conscious rockers, Cooper has never been reluctant to hire Pop hitmakers to help him out. The album was produced by David Foster, who has been at the controls for albums by Mariah Carey, Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion.

Rafael Polcaro: I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
