American
Blues Award nominee, Anthony Geraci is preparing to release his latest studio effort titled "Daydreams In Blue" on July 10th. The album features the amazing guitar work of Monster Mike Welch, along with guest guitarist Walter Trout (Canned Heat, John Mayall's
Blues Breakers).
Anthony kicks off his new twelve track release with the upbeat, swinging rhythm of "Love Changes Everything" and the nostalgic, doo-wop groove of "Tomorrow May Never Come." The
blues come alive with the stellar guitar work of Mike Welch and the playful keys of Geraci on the classic plea of "No One Hears My Prayers." Singer Dennis Brennan does double-duty with his voice and harmonica on the
blues romp of "Mister," while "Tutti Frutti Booty" is inspired directly by "The Originator" of
rock and roll, Little Richard. Anthony Geraci then takes the tempo down to showcase his work on the keys during the six minute ballad "Jelly, Jelly." He finishes up his new album with country
blues of "Dead Man's Shoes" and slow, southern swagger of "Crazy
Blues/Mississippi Woman," along with the short, jazzy
instrumental "Ode To Todd, Ella and Mike Ledbetter."
