Anthony Joseph - FLYING AT THE SPEED OF EMOTION:  "Power Pop" is what's advertised in th' promo sheet for this debut CD release by Anthony... pretty apt description.  Rhythmically I'm reminded (somewhat) of some of the Henry Gross stuff, though there's a lot "heavier" guitar sound.  This is basically a trio effort, with Anthony on lead guitars (excellent sounds, excellent talent), Paul Gold's bass & drums by Matt Ryan.  Track 5, "Father", is my favorite cut... HIGH energy with a lotta' PUNCH & some really RAWK-in guitar leads, with track 7, ""Catch Me" comin' in a close second (it woulda' been first, but th' cut is only 2:31... left me wantin' another minute or 2).   Improv freekz won't get on this train, but since variety is the lice of spife, I believe it's important to listen to this youngblood ev'ry once in a while.  This album is a great first effort... enough so to get it a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for listeners who GOTTA' ride that rawk-in emotional roller coaster that life often is!

I saw Anthony live in San Francisco. Good show and a very cool guy. I liked the songs but loved his guitar playing. I bought the album and really liked it.
