Opener ‘Playing With Fire’ sets the musical stall out early, featuring heavy guitar riffs, keys and the melodic rasp of Tony Mitchell’s singing. His aim on the album was “I wanted a barrage of songs that would get into the ears of those who like melodic rock with powerful guitars, huge harmonies & memorable hooks.”ĭoes he achieve this? I’d say so and then some!

Tony Mitchell produced the album as well as playing guitars, bass and keyboards, plus he has a few guest guitarists to help out including Demon’s Paul Hume and Dante Fox’s Tim Manford. You can’t go wrong with the music here: melodic hard rock with a timeless classic rock blueprint, passionate vocals and polished production. This 2xCD Special Edition includes Mitchell’s first album “ Far Away From Home” as bonus disc, out of print for many years. Now finished, Mitchell is proud to present ‘Far Away From Home’ album, which he feels is his finest work to date, going back to his classic rock roots and taking you on a wild ride of emotions, turning every corner at break neck speed.Best known for having fronted acclaimed act Kiss Of The Gypsy back in the ’90s, Englishman TONY MITCHELL returned two years ago with a new solo album titled “ Beggars Gold“. Mitchell started work on new Kiss Of The Gypsy material regardless and tried to recapture the old style of recording but with today’s technical standards. Mitchell decided to release it under his name when, in July 2010, he contacted all the original members of the band to see if they were interested but all declined as they had moved into other fields of work. He wanted to write and record a new and better Kiss Of The Gypsy album 20 years on to keep a little of the style, raw energy and anthemic qualities.

Secondly, Mitchell had always thought of Kiss Of The Gypsy as unfinished business, not entirely happy with the way the debut album was created, recorded and prioritised.

Mitchell wanted the style to be a classic rock/metal Tarantino movie piece and went under the band name of Kingdom of Deadmen. Developed from a book of dark poems that he had written “Through Eyes of Madness”, Mitchell had the foundation for the dark and disturbing 2010 album “Black Rhapsody”, which depicts love, lust, abuse and revenge. Spending nine years writing, composing, producing and session playing, Mitchell thought it was time to finish off what he set out to do - the first of which, was to write and record a concept album.
Since then, Kiss Of The Gypsy singer Tony Mitchell has written for a variation of projects and sang for the likes of Alan Parsons Project, Rick Wakeman, Pat Cash and played guitar/backing vocals for Alice Cooper, Jon Anderson and Tony Hadley amongst many others. After 3 years of worldwide touring, outstanding reviews, airings on TV/Radio and creating a huge fan base, Atlantic UK folded, and subsequently so did Kiss of the Gypsy.
