CD Cinderella – Long Cold Winter

Experience the definitive sophomore release from Cinderella with this reissue of their 1988 classic, Long Cold Winter. Marking a significant evolution for the band, this album saw Cinderella shedding the pure party-rock tropes of their debut to embrace a grittier, bluesy hard rock sound influenced by legends like The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith.

Produced by Andy Johns, Tom Keifer, and Eric Brittingham, Long Cold Winter is widely regarded by critics as a "minor classic" of the 80s, balancing high-octane glam metal with soulful, blues-infused songwriting. From the driving rhythm of “Gypsy Road” to the emotional depth of their chart-topping ballad “Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone),” this record showcases a band coming into their own.

Key Highlights:

• Genre: Glam metal, hard rock, and blues rock.
• Iconic Tracks: Includes the legendary ballad "Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone)," the blues-soaked title track "Long Cold Winter," and the fan-favorite "Gypsy Road."
• Significance: A pivotal transition album that proved Cinderella’s staying power, blending refined musicality with Keifer’s trademark raspy, powerful vocals.

Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering their blues-rock era for the first time, this reissue is an essential addition to any 80s rock collection.
