According to Cooper the new album, which will be released via earMUSIC, will be a tribute to his hometown. Cooper said that Detroit is the homeplace for hard rock. While other cities have their own sounds—Los Angeles with The Doors, San Francisco with the Grateful Dead, and New York with The Velvet Underground—Detroit was the only city to accept Cooper’s guitar-driven hard rock and stage antics.

“Detroit was a haven for the outcasts. And when they found out I was born in East Detroit… we were home,” said Cooper.

The album was produced by Bob Ezrin and the duo collaborated with numerous musicians from the motor city, such as the guitarist Wayne Kramer, bassist Paul Randolph, and drummer Johnny “Bee” Badanjek.

And here is the full tracklist:

1. Rock ‘n’ Roll
2. Go Man Go (Album Version)
3. Our Love Will Change The World
4. Social Debris
5. $1000 High Heel Shoes
6. Hail Mary
7. Detroit City 2021 (Album Version)
8. Drunk And In Love

10. I Hate You
11. Wonderful World
12. Sister Anne (Album Version)
13. Hanging On By A Thread (Don’t Give Up)
14. Shut Up And Rock
15. East Side Story (Album Version)

The artist announced that a six-track EP titled Breadcrumbs will be released later this year. Per the label, the forthcoming album will pay tribute to Detroit City, touting the EP as a “tribute to the garage rock heroes from his hometown.” 

According to Billboard, Breadcrumbs will feature covers of Bob Seger’s “East Side Story,” the MC5’s “Sister Anne,” Suzi Quatro’s “Your Mama Won’t Like Me” and Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels’ “Devil With a Blue Dress On,” a re-work of “Detroit City” from Cooper’s album Detroit City 2020, and a new song co-written with Wayne Kramer, “Go Man Go.”

Cooper started recording the songs in Detroit during March and wrapped up recording in Los Angeles. He told the outlet earlier this year of the album’s sound, “There’s a certain Detroit sound we’re looking for. It’s indefinable. There’s a certain amount of R&B in it. There’s a certain amount of Motown in it. But then you add the guitars and you add the attitude and it turns into Detroit rock. I feel like if we mine around with all Detroit players, we’re gonna find that sound.”

Breadcrumbs will also be available in 20,000 numbered 10-inch vinyl versions worldwide.
