Kiss of the Gypsy Reviews:
Kiss Me, Gypsy.
2007-02-06 - I had never heard of this band when I saw this album sitting on the rack in the used section at my local Hastings store. The cover is a bland, and only features some belt buckle like art on a black background, but for some reason, it caught my eye as I strode around looking for some good deals. I found one. No doubt somebody made a great mistake in selling this cd to Hastings, but nonetheless, I'm very glad that they did, because when I saw what a great name the band had, I could not help myself and I bought the album right then and there. Kiss of the Gypsy is a bluesy, southern rock-esque hair metal band from the early 90's. A breath of fresh air in hard rcok at the time, since the heavy metal of the 80's had become so bland and unoriginal, and grunge had already become tasteless and boring, Kiss of the Gypsy discreetly slips through the cracks as they turn out their self-titled album. If you're thinking about picking this cd up, do it. You can't go wrong.

Worth tracking down
2006-03-15 - Kiss of the Gypsy's self-titled debut album really fell through the cracks back in 1991, which is a shame since it is such a good album. I imagine the band was written off as just another hair metal band, but in truth they didn't quite fit that particular mold. Kiss of the Gypsy straddled the line between hair metal and AOR, much like Bad English, Giant, and Nelson managed to do. Kiss of the Gypsy had a bit less gloss and a lot more swagger though, so perhaps Von Groove is a closer comparison. Either way, what you get is an outstanding melodic rock album that struts its way from start to finish. It's one of those albums that puts a grin on your face and has you bobbing your head before you know it.

Forget pretentiousness and seriousness, this is an album for those of you who want your rock & roll to be fun!


A Lost Gem!
2003-02-08 - Kiss Of The Gypsy just came along at the wrong time. I saw them open for Tesla in Manchester, England in late 1991. They were incredible. I've seen a lot of bands and they were one of the best. This album is a masterpiece. Not in the slightest bit original. Just good old fashioned R&R with lots of guitars, classic riffs, and a thumping rhythmn section. "Blind For Love", "Easy Does It", "From The Dirt", "Keep Your Distance" will have you abusing your air guitar. "No Prize For The Loser" is a beautiful ballad and "Promised Land" just rips your heart out to close proceedings. If you are sick of some of today's so called "rock", get your hands on this bad boy and lose yourself for ten songs of pure rock and roll bliss. Perfection!
