Cinderella's Album "Heartbreak Station"

Out of all the hair/glam bands to primp and pose on a stage during that late 80's fad, Cinderella is perhaps of the few I can still look back on with a modicum of respect.They shed off a lot of their pretentions by this, their third full length album, and settled into a very decent style that was uniquely their own. Mixing their original glam-ish AC/DC based rock with a touch of the Rolling Stones and Delta Blues, this entire album just reeks of swamp and good ol' boys sitting on the back porch writing songs about their women and how they broke hearts. Tom Keifer, who can give Brian Johnson a run for his money in that shrill octave breaking voice, tempers some of his singing with an actual singing tone, especially on "Dead Man's Road". Interestingly, Keifer adds a lot of horns, gospel back-up vocals, and other instrumentation that was totally foreign to the dying glam scene at the time. Overall, this is one of the best albums that showed the true talent of the group.If I was to choose one album from Cinderella's list,this is the one I would choose. 1. The More Things Change 2. Love's Got Me Doin' Time 3. Shelter Me 4. Heartbreak Station 5. Sick For The Cure 6. One For Rock And Roll 7. Dead Man's Road 8. Make Your Own Way 9. Electric Love 10.Love Gone Bad 11.Winds Of Change
