 Probably Their Best
Night Songs was a great album, but on Long Cold Winter, Cinderella really expanded and improved their songwriting. There's a lot of diversity here, yet it doesn't seem "all over the place" like the subsequent Heartbreak Station would. We're treated to typical Cinderella fare like "Gypsy Road" and "The Last Mile," and a blues-rock monster in "Fallin' Apart At the Seamms." THen there's the piano-based ballad "DOn't Know What You've Got ('Til It's Gone0," the happy-strumming "COming Home," and the haunting, organ-laced (if somewhat screechy-voiced) blues of the title track. There are a couple fillers, as the songs aren't as consistently catchy as on Night Songs, but I think this is a fine place to start, and probably best captures what Cinderella were about.

 Aside From a Collection, Their Best CD
For me, Cinderella always stood apart from other "hair" bands of the 80's because of their unique, bluesy sound. While "Gypsy Road," "The Last Mile," and "Take Me Back," are the best songs on the CD, they're all good. The only thing that slows down the momentum is the wretched title track, "Long Cold Winter." In all, this is a very good feel-good CD.

 Excellence!
While Night Songs may have had solid writing, riffing, and performance, there was little that distinguished Cinderella from other bands other than Tom's voice and their "trashy Victorian glam" look. With Long Cold Winter, though, the band really found their niche. This is apparent right from the get-go, with the Aerosmith-esque "Bad Seamstress Blues/Fallin' Apart At The Seams". There are many other great songs, enhanced by Tom's voice and the excellent production. The only song I don't like is "Fire And Ice", which sounds like a left over from Night Songs. Tremendous album otherwise.
