Anthony Gomes
Praise the Loud
(Rat Pak Records)
Blues faithful and arena headbangers now enjoy shared territory.
1970s music writers termed singers like Robert Plant and Noddy Holder "high energy," a descriptor that now applies to Anthony. His category 5 vocals surely never met an eardrum they couldn't smash unto jollification. (Such forcefulness attests to the man's piety re the Rock'n'Roll he so boldly proclaims.) Too, I'm hereby starting the rumor that police made Anthony register his Flying V as a lethal weapon; it's that formidable, screaming across the universe while giving a backhand to any feckless naysayers foolish enough to poke heads from propriety's shelter. His abilities are efficaciously showcased in material that never falters - not even a shred of a fraction.
"My whole career, people said I'd never make it 'cause I was too Rock for the Blues and too Blues for Rock'n'Roll," Anthony told one audience. "Ladies and gentlemen: Fuck those people!"
Praise the Loud is Anthony's 14th disc. His previous High Voltage Blues rose to Billboard's #1.
