In The Spotlight: The Black Keys have unleashed “Stay In Your Grave,” a haunting collaboration with rock legend Alice Cooper, just in time for Halloween. The track serves as a preview for the expanded “Trophy Edition” of their album “Ohio Players,” set to release November 15.
Rock Legends Unite: The new single wraps Cooper’s iconic vocals around a thunderous riff reminiscent of LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out.” The collaboration emerged from the band’s recent creative sessions that produced several new tracks with notable artists.
