Just wanted to share a couple of my favorites from Dada, just as a taster and an introduction to those who have not heard it yet (I'm sure that the ends of the Youtubes will point to more Dada songs). "Pass the Gun Around", the excellent closer, still remains one of my favorite Cooper songs. Killer guitar solo by Dick Wagner!
Dada still remains one of the under-valued albums that deserves to be heard. It's a pretty dark ride, and something that sits well with his classics.
I missed out on buying the album for a long time, but getting it recently brought back a memory of spotting the cover at a K Mart, although I was not of the age to buy albums on my own and I knew that Alice was not a favorite of my parents (I could imagine them yelling "put it back!" if I would have picked Zipper Catches Skin for them to buy for me in a manner reminiscent of me asking them to get Isaac Hayes' Tough Guys album!). It was seriously worth the long wait!
