Lace and Whiskey is an album by Alice Cooper, released in May 1977. After many years of portraying the same dark and sinister persona, Alice decided to try something new. The album showcases Cooper's love for the musicians that recorded music in this vein, Frank Sinatra even went on to sing the smash hit "You And Me", a compliment that Alice still appreciates.
While many consider this and Cooper's previous album, Alice Cooper Goes To Hell, to be the beginning of a downfall for Alice's career, it undoubtedly features some of the musician's most well-written lyrics.
