The music of Gypsy Soul is a "Conversation With God!"
- Neale Donald Walsch; New York Time Bestselling author
"Transcendent - her voice is haunting and his musicianship superb."
- PEOPLE Magazine
You may already be familiar with the sensual and eclectic sounds of Gypsy Soul. Their music has been heard over 100 times in 14 countries on the hit TV shows Providence, Felicity, Roswell and others. In the vein of Sarah McLachlan, Bonnie Raitt and Shawn Colvin, Gypsy Soul's gourmet music is a unique blend of Soulful, Acoustic Rock with Celtic and Americana Roots.
The ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER says their unique sound is "strikingly beautiful with the group's seamless blend of Folk, Jazz, Pop and World Music." This highly accomplished pair is hailed as "one of the most brilliantly instrumented and vocally adept bands alive and kicking," by the OC WEEKLY. Their soul-stirring, passionate performances and exquisitely crafted songs continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
Don't miss this special opportunity to experience Gypsy Soul's fan pre-release of the newly recorded, remixed and re-mastered CD, BENEATH THE COVERS: A REDISCOVERY. Please see the new song line up and sound clips!
In this daring departure from their critically acclaimed CDs of original material, Roman Morykit and Cilette Swann pay tribute to some of the artists who have inspired them. In the recording process, the duo also rediscovers and revisits a few of its own songs. The pair blends the soulful passion of Annie Lennox with the rich tapestry of Fleetwood Mac to produce a genre defying sound. This acoustic tour de force is a breathtaking journey through songs well known and loved.

Amazing!!

"Beneath the Covers," 2007 This amazing album encompasses folk, jazz, pop and a few genres in
between with Cilette Swann's emotional vocals and Roman Morykit playing almost everything else including some damn tasty guitar. He never overplays, letting each song breathe. I admit I have a bias when it comes to cover tunes so when I saw seven covers, the alarm bells went off. No need to worry though. Not only were there
no note-by-note attempts to sound just like the original but the refreshing way they did them made me look at each song in a new way. I never realized the words to U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" were so poignant or that "Nights In White Satin" could be so passionate. And "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak! Wow. With
an ethereal string section and that little cry in Cilette's voice, its perfect. The best cut is Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" with a swampy groove and that luscious soulful voice of Cilette's. "Take Me Home Country Roads" is wonderfully presented with only an acoustic guitar in open tuning and layered vocals. There's a funky acoustic blues guitar at the center of one of the originals, "Lovin' Me," that grows into something jazzier. Roman really knows his way around a fretboard. Show that you know your way around great music and get this CD. Highly recommended. © Jamie Anderson
