about

No solo album of mine would be complete without the inclusion of Jimi Hendrix. Gypsy Boy is a tune I’ve been drawn to from the moment I heard it. Around our home town of Claremont CA. in the late 80’s and early 90’s, Dan and I used to play an arrangement based on the somewhat reconstructed version that appears on Midnight Lightning (a posthumous J.H. release), so it made sense to use that version as a launching point for a new arrangement. It’s perfectly rounded off with Janiece and Melanie’s soulful vocals on the choruses.
As a tribute, I feel pretty honored to actually get to sing this song to Jimi since he was the ultimate musical/magical gypsy boy.

lyrics

Gypsy Boy

Hey gypsy boy, where do you come from
From the land of the new rising sun
Hey gypsy boy, where do you plan to go to
I’m gonna spread a lot of love,
and a lot of piece of mind to
Lord, may I come along
May I come along
