Eddie Trunk caught up with Cinderella frontman Tom Keifer during the Monsters Of Rock Cruise this week for Trunk Nation. Keifer discusses his debut solo album, The Way Life Goes, and his next solo record in the clip below.

Keifer: "I would describe this (new) record is the extreme ends, which is the heavy and the more intimate things, are as extreme as they probably have ever been. The heavy stuff is probably the heaviest stuff I've ever been involved in writing or recording. The organic stuff is as intimate - where you hear every breath of the vocal - it's pretty exposed. And then things in between that are middle ground, but the heavy side is probably heavier than ever."

A deluxe edition of Keifer’s The Way Life Goes is out now via Cleopatra Records. Order via the Amazon widget below and on the Cleopatra Records website.
