TOM KEIFER, lead singer of CINDERELLA, will release his first solo album, The Way Life Goes, on April 30th via Merovee Records (through Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group).

In a new video report from Artisan News, Keifer talks about the new album, as well as his recovering from vocal cord paralysis. Check out the footage below:

Keifer's new collection of 14 new songs ranges from intimate, organic, acoustic tracks to driving hard rock. It embraces the blues, rock and country roots that have always been present in his unique sound that has generated the sale of over 15 million records worldwide for Cinderella.

Snippets of five new songs from The Way Life Goes are currently streaming at Tomkeifer.com.

The Way Life Goes is a raw, introspective look at the roller coaster ride that has been Keifer's life for the past 15 years. From being told that he would never sing again as a result of a partially paralyzed left vocal cord, to the emotional and personal battles that followed, his solo debut is a story of perseverance, a testament to the power of passion and will, when combined with a true love of music.
