David Diamond sings lead vocals and plays bass; Todd Reynolds is on drums; Sunny Keyes plays keys and Mr. Zero is back on guitar.
"Circle of Friends/Man That I Am" is out the gate with crunchy electric guitar strumming and wild and free keys that glide and shimmer. David Diamond’s edgy vocals hit the mic with confidence andf style. Bass and rock drumming hold the rhythm tight. The chorus stands out with a fun and catchy hook that you can join. “I can’t run far and wide. I can’t keep it inside. I never want to forget, this fine circle of friends. It’s a fine circle of friends.” The tune will get stuck in your head the way a good hook is suppose to.
Lead guitar shines between verses. The “Man That I Am” section is the icing on the cake. The Kings know how to do a seamless seque better than anyone in the trade; their transitions are the perfect blend of beats and melody.
