CINDERELLA frontman TOM KEIFER is featured in a new interview with Full Throttle Rock. An excerpt is available below:

Q: Congratulations on the release of the new album That’s The Way Life Goes, you must be very proud of the final product?

TK: "Yeah it was something that took many years to make, it was a huge leap of faith making it, and we took ten years. It was produced independently of a label and it was during a period of time when I could barely sing due to my vocal cord paresis, a neurological condition, and quite honestly the entire time we were making it I did not know if I would be able to perform the songs live and we really did not know if the record was ever going to get picked up or released. It was more about just creating music and where it was going to end up it was going to end up, even if it was just listening to it in our own house (laughing) by ourselves. So that was the goal to just make an amazing album and we did our best and hopefully we achieved that."

Q: Any number of these songs could have wound up on a Cinderella record, did any of them come close to being Cinderella tracks?

TK: "I am sure that would be very possible. I was the main song writer in the band and the lead vocalist and did a lot of the guitar work, so I guess there is a stamp that I have, a style, that was a big part of Cinderella in terms of writing, vocals and guitar and that is naturally going to carry through on a record that I am going to do. So yeah, there is an obvious similarity which I believe is a natural thing."
