Executive Producer Joe Norelli teamed up with GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® Award-Winning engineer, producer, and songwriter Ruben Salas, and Producer/Artist and studio owner Dana Kamide, to co-write, produce, and record the album’s tracks. Norelli, along with the in-house production duo, oversaw the creation of several classic rock and 70’s remakes, as well as new originals for the album.
Solid Rock Revival features 13 tracks. Alice Cooper lends an exclusive remake of his classic 70’s hit “No More Mr. Nice Guy” by re-penning the lyrics to “Now I’m Mr. Nice Guy.” Cooper also recorded “I’m Thirteen,” “School’s Out, No Bummer,” and “Monster Mash.” Rob Halford provided lead vocals on “Pleasant Dreams,” and Daryl “DMC” McDaniels contributed to “In The Midday Hour.” Slash provided guitar tracks for “Freewheelin’”– a playful duet with Alice and his daughter Calico Cooper. GRAMMY® Award-winner 123 Andres performed “Vamos Mis Amigos,” and Radio Nube (the 8 & 10 year old-sisters rock duo and TikTok sensation from Mexico) recorded “Sugarrush.” Additionally, staff and teens from The Rock Teen Centers were directly involved in the production of the album, along with many other acclaimed musicians and engineers who have recorded on GRAMMY® Award-Winning and Nominated projects.
Ms. Meka Nism recorded vocals for this project on several tracks. Michelle Jones recorded Theremin for “Monster Mash.” Proceeds from the sale of the album, as well as live concerts and special events, will benefit The Norelli Family Foundation, Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock charity based in Phoenix, AZ, and several other children’s charities.
