Night Songs by Cinderella
Released the first week of August 1986, this debut album was lumped in with the glam metal/hair metal crowd and suffered a bit for that miscategorization. The cover of the album screamed one thing, but the songs screamed something else. One part Aerosmith, one part KISS, add in a dash of blues rock and a healthy dose of musicianship and you get a better idea of what this band was really about.
The album made it to #3 on the US charts and spawned a top 15 single. My personal favorite was this song, the third single from this great album, Somebody Save Me. A straight on blues-rocker with an arena-rock back bone, it was (and still is) a live show staple for the band. The video followed the previous two video formula of showing "twins" that appear to be big Cinderella fans stalking the band while they blast a stadium full of fans with the song. The punch line of the video is that the girls are really after two other rock stars and you'll have to watch the video to see who that is (Hint** Cinderella were opening for these guys at the time).
Please enjoy...and watch for a duel guitar solo swap in the middle of the video
I really dig his band back then and still do. The lead singer has a tiny bit of Brian Johnson to his vocals and the music is fun and SO 80's that it takes me right back to those good ole days
