Tom Keifer is back!!!!
Best known as the singer/songwriter/guitarist of the Philadelphia-based Blues-Rock band Cinderella, Tom Keifer
is making his debut as a solo artist with the release of his long-awaited and highly-anticipated solo album
"The Way Life Goes" via Merovee Records (through Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group).
The debut album of Tom is really great! It opens with the song "Solid Ground", that is one of the best songs that
there are in the album. Then, there are tracks like "It's Not Enough", "Cold Day In Hell", "Thick And Thin",
"Ask Me Yesterday", "Fools Paradise", "The Flower Song", "Mood Elevator" and other songs that are strong enough
to love this album when you hear it. "The Way Life Goes" closes with the homonym song of the disc and the song
"Babylon" that keeps the CD in a high level till the end!
The truth is that Tome Keifer didn't use the same music tactics like the tactics that he used with the band Cinderella.
This album has a different personality, this album makes Tom pushing his own boundaries to a different level and gives
something to his fans that they should be proud of it! Despite constant battles with his vocal chords over the years,
Tome Keifer sounds pretty good!
"The Way Life Goes" is a shuffling of rockers, bluesy and ballads sounds. All these sounds matches perfect together and
the final result is a masterpiece! It has whatever you want to hear from an album and that raise the disc into a higher level.
