Heartbreak Station by Cinderella
Heartbreak Station is an album by Cinderella, released in 1990. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Shelter Me”, on 1 list with a best position of #631.
Heartbreak Station, Cinderella's third studio album, came out on Mercury in 1990, and it's where the Philadelphia band loosened its grip on glam metal and leaned hard into the blues. Tom Keifer sings and plays guitar, Jeff LaBar is the other guitarist, Eric Brittingham holds down bass and Fred Coury drums; it was Coury's last album with them before he left the following year, though he turned up on one song on Still Climbing.
VH1 heard it as bluesy and brawny, and that's about right: rootsy swagger and big-shouldered riffs, with the hairspray mostly rinsed out. It climbed to No. 19 on the Billboard 200 and went platinum in February 1991, with "Shelter Me" and the title track both making the Hot 100 while "The More Things Change" got left behind.
