“Anthony Geraci has long been part of the bedrock of the Boston-Providence blues scene. In recent years, he has stepped out of the seaside shadows into the limelight of international acclaim, largely on the strength of feature albums. “Tears” keeps the momentum going. Blessed with a fraught musical imagination and considerable ability on piano or organ, Geraci airs out a set of original songs of blues or bluesy persuasions.” 4 Star review in Downbeat Magazine.
