Heartbreak Station

Heartbreak Station

Cinderella’s third album (released in 1990) was soon recognized as an update of ’70s-era rock by the likes of Aerosmith and the Stones. The slide guitars, hip-swinging grooves, and freight-train chug of “The More Things Change,” “Sick for the Cure,” and “Make Your Own Way” all conjure Joe Perry and Steven Tyler, while “One for Rock and Roll” and the hit “Shelter Me” show mad love for the American soul, gospel, and country that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards adored. Even the dobro-led “Dead Man’s Road” rises above its own boilerplate blues. The album, which even features The Memphis Horns, was a welcome diversion from the era’s pop-metal.
