 Instead of a Kingsway CD it seems like another Weber Brothers CD. They make a perfect match. Kingsway sounds like he's playing with the Weber Brothers forever and vice versa.


Kingsway, aka Ron Coldham, recorded his fifth CD in Nanton with Steve Loree in between the Weber Brothers’ many tours.


 It retains the Weber Brothers’ vintage ’60s and early ’70s rock and roll sound, but  is on the mellower side thanks to Kingsway’s laid back vocals.


 His vocals are supplemented by waves of organ and piano plus subdued guitar, bass and drums, though the organ stands out on most of the tracks.


While the entire CD is very much reminiscent of the Band, there are some more elaborate songs chick fll of jamming like “Xmas Song” which have a psychdelic Pink Floyd feel.


 They pick up the pace on “Swept Away, an upbeat alt country tinged roots rocker, whch stands out on a CD dominated by more laid back jam filled fare.
