"LIVE" you haven't experienced yet? Buy the CD to learn

Anyone who has ever seen Anthony Gomes "live" can attest it's a heart pounding, foot stomping, full energy, gut wrenching, rock your soul, musical experience. His new release entitled "LIVE" is all that; it grabs you from the very beginning and delivers the power behind the Anthony Gomes experience. The CD starts out with the crowd hootin and hollerin and ends with them yelling "more, we want more!" As with any Anthony Gomes CD this one holds true to his amazing, sizzling, guitar wizardry and makes you feel as though you're listening to him LIVE.
There are 12 cuts on this CD. I have two favorites on this CD ... cut six "When the Right Women Does You Wrong" is one of those which will silence any doubter that Anthony that can sing and play the blues. Listen closely as this showcases Anthony vocals and guitar wizardry like no other. It touches my bluesin, gypsy soul to its very core. One cannot listen to this song without feeling the depths of Anthony's soul! "It's raining, raining, raining in my heart, it's raining in my soul ... right woman ... I'm about to lose control" which is exactly what he does, loses control! He wails on the guitar and makes it sing like only Anthony can. This song is worth the price of this CD alone!
"Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country" an excerpt from JFK starts cut eight "War on War." I love what the lyrics stand for on this song ... "It's time to stand up and declare War, War on War ... I'm talking about a revolution, a soul solution, something worth fighting for ... War on War!" As Anthony declares the song is not about War rather a spiritual journey of freedom and love. I'm ready to a "soul solution" are you?
Cut nine "Won't Let You Down" is a song that has never been released until this CD but has always been a show stopper at many live shows; it's a song about not letting your parents down ... about trying to do the best we can do as we journey through our lives ... it's a real tear jerker.
My other favorite is the last cut of the CD entitled "Testify" and that's exactly what you will do when you hear this song. It starts out with some more of Anthony's magic guitar wizardry then goes into the first lyric of "Kick the doors open let the party begin," need he sing more? This is a high energy, high voltage song and will get you up out of your chair to start dancing.
As the song "Testify" declares "Soul power will make your body move" and this CD is chalk full of it!
