Press Reviews In these days of 401K plans, microwave meals, SUVs, and the new millenium, Gypsy Joe and the Gypsy Blues Band are a dose of the old (and new) blues - a fierce raw blues that masters like B.B. King, Willie Dixon, Buddy Guy, and Stevie Ray pluck from their guitars and vocals with a somewhat primal wail, with a taste of Delta Blues/Texas Swing, old blues and gypsy blues. The band brings magic to their shows and takes you on a special blues trip. The experience sends tremors to your toes, which can't help but tap to the tempo. Whatever it is that makes Gypsy Joe and the Gypsy Blues Band such a "good time" is probably what has launched the band into a successful career. Gypsy Joe and the Gypsy Blues Band is fresh and upcoming. The band surely has fun and enjoys playing their music. That's why they're hot!
