ALICE COOPER's Son Featured On This Year's 'A Taste Of Christmas Pudding' CD

November 21, 2009

In 2005, the first edition of "To The Left Of Christmas" local music compilation CD was released. It was started by SoundVision Recording Studio owner and producer Michael Beck as a way to promote some of the valleys local music. "I noticed, while acting as local music director for a valley rock radio station, that every Christmas, rock stations would be in desperate need for rock-oriented Christmas music. I thought it would be a good chance to get some local bands airplay and help valley radio stations fill that need," says Beck. It featured well known local bands doing their version of classic Christmas songs.

"We have had some great tracks over the last couple years, everything from a reggae version of 'Frosty the Snowman' to a metal version of 'Carol of the Bells'," he adds.

After the 2005 CD, the people at Cooperstown (Alice Cooper's restaurant) asked Michael Beck and SoundVision Recording Studios to combine their efforts with Alice Cooper's yearly holiday "Christmas Pudding" concert, as well as the "Proof is in the Pudding" band competition that ends with one local band taking the stage with Alice Cooper and some of his friends at the Dodge Theater. That show is taking place this year on December 18.

"The decision to work together," says Beck, "was a simple one. I am very
proud to say that it has been a great experience to produce the compilation
CD for Alice Cooper's 'A Taste Of Christmas Pudding'. Besides, like I'm going to say no to Alice." Beck goes on to say, "This year's CD promises to be the best yet. The talent here in the valley is really unbelievable and working with a charity that is helping kids relate to music activities in a positive way is so great."

The proceeds from the CD will go to Alice's charity, which is called Solid Rock. They are building a much-needed music-oriented teen center for the Phoenix area youth. The youth center called The Rock will include a coffee house, music venue, and many other music-related activities.
