Carlos Cruz, drummer explained more about the recording process, “Musically, all five of us brought something for the rest of the group to work off of and we were all a part of chiseling away at the ideas”.

Tom Keifer is on Solid Ground with his new album, The Way Life Goes

July 30, 2013

Growing up in the 70’s/80’s, I listened to a LOT of ROCK n ROLL. One of my favorite bands from the 80’s was the Philadelphia based blues rock band CINDERELLA. I went to many of their concerts to just to hear the raspy, distinctive gritty voice of Tom Keifer. His vocals were incredible and always drew me to their music. Tom had suffered some nodules on his vocal chords and at one time, left him unsure if we was going to ever be able to sing again. Tom has succeeded in treating his issues with his vocal chords and continues to amaze us with his powerful and amazing voice. Earlier this year, Tom released his solo record, The Way Life Goes on Merovee Records (through WMG ILG) and went out on the first part of his tour in support of the album. Tom has two singles out from this spectacular album, Solid Ground and The Flower Song. We are excited to bring you our interview with Tom Keifer. * * * * * * * [Read More]
