Hear Alice Cooper and Slash’s New Kids’ Song ‘Freewheelin”
Alice
Cooper
and
his
daughter
Calico
have
joined
forces
with
Slash on “Freewheelin’,”
a
cycling
anthem
off
the
Grammy-nominated
children’s
album Solid
Rock
Revival.
You
can
watch
the
new
animated
music
video
below.
While plenty
of
rockers
over
the
decades
have
sung
about
the
joys
of
hitting
the
open
road
on
their
motorcycles,
the
Coopers
take
a
different
tack
on “Freewheelin’.” “Now
you’re
freewheelin’
/
ridin’
by
yourself
/
pedalin’
faster
without
any
help
/
I’m
free
feelin’
on
my
two wheels
/
fell
a
couple
times
/
it
ain’t
no
big
deal,”
the
father-daughter
duo
sings
about
the
milestone
of
removing
the
training
wheels, making
way
for
a
characteristically
fiery
guitar
solo
from
Slash.

“Freewheelin'”
appears
on Solid
Rock
Revival,
a
star-studded
compilation
album
credited
to
Rock
for
Children
that
came
out
in
August.
Cooper
spearheaded
the
project, and
kids recorded
the
songs
at
his Solid
Rock
Teen
Centers
in
Phoenix
and
Mesa,
Arizona.
The
album
also
features contributions
from Rob
Halford
of
Judas
Priest
and
Darryl “DMC”
McDaniels
of
Run-DMC.
Alice
Cooper
Could
Win
His
First
Grammy
—
for
a
Children’s
Album
Solid
Rock
Revival earned
a
Grammy
nomination
for
Best
Children’s
Music
Album.
If it
wins,
it will
mark
Cooper’s
first
Grammy.
The irony of a
shock-rock
titan
once seen
as
the
veritable
antichrist potentially
winning
this
type
of
award
is
not
lost
on
Cooper.
“Would
it
not
be
the
craziest
thing
for
Alice
Cooper
to
get
a
Grammy
for
children’s
music?”
he asked The Arizona
Republic. “But
I
get
it.
It
was
unique.
It
was
something
that
came
out
of
nowhere.
And
I
think
that
that’s
what
people
look
for.
They
go, ‘Well,
I
never
thought
that
that
would
ever
happen,
but
good.’
It
would
be
like
if
Marilyn
Manson
won
for
the
same
thing.
I’m
gonna
tell
him, ‘Make
a
kid’s
album
next.
And
try
not
to
kill
all
of
them.'”
