Still Climbing is the fourth and final studio album by the American rock band Cinderella, released on November 8, 1994, by Mercury Records.
[2] Stylistically, Still Climbing maintained the stripped-down, bluesy sound the band had begun exploring in their prior album Heartbreak Station.
Bassist Eric Brittingham stated that he found it "refreshing" when people acknowledged the band's continued shift from glam metal to blues-based rock.
[8] While the band was writing for and recording the album, Tom Keifer experienced vocal cord paresis, which he cited as an obstacle for his songwriting.
"[17] The Indianapolis Star wrote that the songs "are 90 percent chorus ('Hot & Bothered' and 'Freewheelin') - and not even particularly creative ones at that; they're just repetitive phrases that might manage to come off well with a concert crowd.
"[8] In 2011, Brittingham stated in an interview that the low sales numbers of the record led to the band being dropped by their label, after which they temporarily disbanded.
