For those not in the know, Tony Mitchell’s Kiss Of The Gypsy album, Unfinished Business, is now available on MR Records and was released worldwide on CD & Japanese import with bonus tracks.

What started off as possible bonus tracks for Tony Mitchell’s forthcoming solo album, quickly turned into a full blown, long awaited Kiss Of The Gypsy album.

Indeed, 2022 is the 30th anniversary of the KOTG debut album and Mitchell was to include bonus tracks on his new album that he had written as KOTG to include for a special edition release later this year on MR Records, but all that changed when Mitchell was writing the songs and more ideas started to develop.

1. Eye Of The Hurricane
2. Duty To Party
3. Runaways
4. Too Much Love
5. Remedy
6. Taking Care Of Business
7. Foolin’
8. Sin City Blues
9. Time To Heal
10. Wild Horses

This rockingly well-executed, phenomenally elegant, and daringly-crafted album opens on the blistering Eye Of The Hurricane and the thunderously melodic Duty To Party, then comes the rhythmical, metal rock foot-tapper Runaways, the mid-tempo scrawl of Too Much Love and then comes the free flowing AOR of Remedy.

Up next is the melodically-rampant rock of Taking Care Of Business and the lighter, more mid-Tempo, ballad-esque appeal of Foolin’ and they are in turn followed seamlessly by the pure, unadulterated AOR of Sin City Blues, the album rounding out on the harmonious, Choir-like balladry within Time To Heal, closing on the languishing, Bon Jovi-esque Wild Horses.

“Over the years since we split, I was offered numerous major record deals to record a new KOTG album,” Mitchell explains. “but I always refused to do it as I didn’t think it would be right to do it without the rest of the original band members, but I guess now is the time. Even though KOTG was only a small part of my journey, I was, and still am very grateful to all the fans that supported us and continue to support my work.”

“As it is the 30th anniversary, I thought the time was now right and I would write a brand new KOTG album rather than just bonus tracks for the solo album and so went head on into prioritizing this. I went back to using my old recording techniques with these outstanding musicians and friends.”

“As I was writing and recording the tracks, they took a life of their own and merited their own album release. The ideas just flew out and I was so happy with the results. They seem to have a modern twist on the KOTG style and there are even a couple of tracks that were written based around old riffs and ideas that I am writing from home in 1992 that I just recently discovered in an old suitcase on cassette tapes.”

“As it stands, this is a kick ass 30th anniversary celebration album as a thank you to all the fans but who knows? If there is an appetite for future Mitchell’s Kiss of the Gypsy albums … let’s see what happens.”
