Album
Still Climbing
Still Climbing is the fourth and final studio album by the American rock band Cinderella, released in November 1994. It followed Night Songs, Long Cold Winter and Heartbreak Station, and it arrived after a long wait: singer Tom Keifer lost his voice in 1991, and that setback delayed the record.
It is also the only Cinderella album to feature drummer Kenny Aronoff, who stepped in for Fred Coury. Coury does appear on the closing track, "Hot & Bothered". For anyone following the band from their 1986 debut, this is the last chapter of a hard rock story, made by a group that had to get through some difficult years to finish it. It's worth hearing as the closing statement of that run.
