Long Cold Winter

Released

Sporting the most majestic hair and the most meme-worthy chili dog jingle of any of their peers, Philadelphia’s glass-slippered Cinderella took the blues to their (very unnatural) Jim Steinman-esque conclusion on their very own white album. Side A is awe-inspiring by any yardstick: the swinging “Bad Seamstress Blues” and road dog rockers “Gypsy Road” and “The Last Mile” would make this one for the history books on their own, but “Don’t Know What You Got till It’s Gone” ranks up there with the 80s’ best power ballads, somehow simultaneously intimate and totally over the top.
