Gypsy Road


"Gypsy Road" is a hard rock track by Cinderella, released in 1988 as the lead single from their second album Long Cold Winter. The song showcases the band's blues-influenced rock style, built around driving rhythm guitar and gritty riffs that define their signature sound. For electric guitarists, it offers a solid study in hard rock rhythm playing, bluesy lead phrasing, and the kind of raw, energetic tone that made late-1980s rock guitar so compelling.

  • "Gypsy Road" was the first single released from Cinderella's second album, Long Cold Winter, in 1988.
  • The track runs approximately 3 minutes and 55 seconds, making it a tight, focused hard rock study for guitarists.
  • Cinderella was known for blending hard rock with blues influences, and that character is present throughout the guitar work in this song.
