"All I can say is this guy has an incredible amount of musical talent! Unity is one of the best new CD's I've heard in a while. With a 10 piece band including horns, the sound leaves nothing to be desired! Get up and get ready for some foot stompin' and clappin'.... reachin' down to your very bones! This guy is great and I can't wait to see him on the Feb.'04 "Blues Cruise" with 4 live performances! Whew... it is just mind blowin' what that experience will be like! "If You Could Rule the World" leaves plenty to ponder, every song on this CD (12 in total) is fabulous, nothing is lacking, in my judgement! Hallelujah Brother Anthony!"

"Anthony Gomes sings and plays with a ton of soul. This is a well produced and played by all in the band effort. If you aren't signing and dancing along with this after 3 plays there is something wrong. From the opening notes of "When The Walls Come Down" through the the bluesy "Darkness Before The Dawn" to the funk laden "Do Watcha Do" and on to the final notes of the Acoustic blue "Bad for You". Anthony's latest cd is a work to be reckoned with. If you haven't had enough after listening to this fine effort, go see him live."

"This CD is blowing my mind. I don't always believe reviews but this time its true. From the first song When The Walls Come Down (YEAH) to the last acoustic track this CD does not let you down. when I hear this guy play I feel like throwing away my guitar! Power and passion. Turn it up."

""Unity" should put Anthony Gomes over the top as a guitar player. Produce by Jim Gaines, this production of Unity is a phenomenal work of art, and should really put Gomes at the top of the blues charts. Fasten your seat belts folks and hold on tight. This is a great ride, Anthony Gomes will take you on an bluesy, jazzed up version of rock & roll that will leave you wishing there was one more track on this disc. His raspy voice combined with his incredible guitar work makes for what I am calling the Blues Rock CD of the Year! I've had the privilege of hearing Anthony live several times at the Congo Square in Nashville, TN. and he really knows how to capture the audience and take them on a musical journey they won't soon forget. By this CD you will love it!

Anthony Gomes Rocks!!!

"For some reason I thought Anthony Gomes was a new-age guitarist. My husband and I are huge Blues fans and have been for about 15 years, so we've had the opportunity to see many, many great Blues acts. Anthony Gomes was scheduled to play the Legendary Rythym and Blues Cruise this year and I didn't really expect to be impressed but he BLEW MY ASS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ran right straight down to the "Bluesin' Bazaar" and bought all three of his cd's and I can't get enough of them. He puts on such a great show that we are driving to Philly from WV (170 miles) next week to see him and then immediately driving back to do a double shift the next day, but he is WORTH it. Catch this guy live if you can, I can't really put into words how great (and nice) he is. And just an incredible musician."
