“by Joshua Smotherman Grab Some Cigarettes ‘n Gasoline and Head To Sea With Colin Ward It’s chilly and raining outside but with the tropical frequencies of Cigarettes ‘n Gasoline filling the room, I might as well be on a boat in the Caribbean. On his newest album, Colin Ward takes us sailing through stories of pawn shops and beautiful days fishing around the Florida Keys. Playing guitar since he was 12, Colin has been influenced by a wide range of music including greats such as Eric Clapton, The Beatles, The Eagles, Jimmy Buffett, Chet Atkins, and Carole King. Cigarettes ‘n Gasoline is a reflection and combination of Ward’s world travels, his love of the tropics, and his excellent songwriting skills. His song Wish I’d Never has been used as background for Good Guys on FOX TV, he has placed songs in independent films, and his music has even made appearances in radio advertisements. ”

“I gave a quick listen to about 1/2 of the tracks from your new CD, "Dream On Down to the Keys". It's great Trop Rock. I recommend it to your followers, and anyone else reading this posting. I'll review it in it's entirety, once I have all the tracks in hand, and post it on the station's blog. Look for Colin Ward, and Bruce Kula's new release, on "The Shore", www.wnyshoreradio.com.”

“It's a great CD. Very pleasant listening also. I sing along with The Florida Keys song. And I love the song called Hey There Dad. Cigarettes and Gasoline tell a great story and loved it from the start to finish. All the songs are great, but those top my favorites so far. It may change as I continue listening. But Florida Keys will always be at the top of my list.”

“Cigarettes and Gasoline, a music CD by Florida-based songwriter and performer Colin Ward, is just what the doc ordered for me on this labor day weekend. From the folky-rock feel of a song like “Hand Upon Your Shoulder”, to the bluesy-rock vibe of the title track to the country rock sounds of a song like “Back to Texas”, it is a delightful, easy-going collection of tunes tied together by Colin’s vocals and fantastic guitar playing. There is a guitar sound here for everyone, from the finger-picking of “Hey There Dad”, to the many cool acoustic leads (in fact, too many to single one track out) to the great steel guitar sounds in “You’ll Regret it”.”

— CD Baby

“Colin Ward's new CD, Cigarettes and Gasoline, from the very first note of -Hand Upon Your Shoulder -commands your attention. His fine picking and arrangements shine with highly polished musicianship throughout. He traces personal stories and creates portraits with his words, surrounded by intricate guitar work and gentle harmonies. There's not a dull moment on this cd because you are either caught up in his musical masterful melodies and guitar runs, or following an intriguing storyline throughout. The work is thoughtful and totally entertaining. You will enjoy it fully every listen.”
