Living tear to tear

"Norcia's position in the top tier of contemporary harmonica players alongside names such as Mark Hummel, Rod Piazza, Rick Estrin, and Kim Wilson is hardly in question, and he once again demonstrates why on this record ... The Bluetones are easily one of the tightest blue ensembles working today, and Welch's guitar work is as tasteful as anything he's recorded to date ... With a veteran band firing on all cylinders, ten original numbers in a 12-song set, and Norcia playing some of the finest harp of his career, it seems a foregone conclusion that 'Living Tear to Tear' will find itself on several award lists next year".
