Album Review: Kingsley Flood - Battles

We've been longing for the true classic rock band and have found  a few we enjoy such as Hollis Brown, the Jamie McLean Band, and Ha Ha Tonka. We can now add Kingsley Flood to that list after a few listens to their latest CD Battles. You may want to jump to The Fire Inside and its intricate guitar solos to see which song sealed the deal, but definitely return to the earlier tracks. Don't Change My Mind and Sun's Gonna Let Me Shine are reminiscent of the Felice Brothers whereas Pick Your Battles turn to a more rocking version of The Black Keys. The rest is pure Kingsley Flood - a pretty cool blueish-rock-n'-roll sound.
