Gypsy Eyes is one of Kitty Summerall's favorite songs of all time, and one of two Jimi Hendrix tunes she has covered. As always, when covering a song, Kitty Summerall produces a new sound to complement the song and to interpret it in a way all her own. Kitty Summerall's 'Gypsy Eyes' has an exotic feel, and tribal drums played by Richard Roseborough, an amazing psychedelic style of guitar played by Emory Smith and an aggressive bassline played by David Cocharn. They recorded in a midnight session at the legendary Sam Phillips Studio. These great studio musicians played in a unique but synergistic way to get the exotic sound across that Kitty wanted. Unique!

As a child and while growing up in Mississippi, New Orleans and in Florida, Kitty knew some legendary blues artists, and even sat on their front porches and listened to them play and sing. Assisting with blues festivals as a teen, Kitty often drove some of these artists and helped promote their music, many being elderly and frail by the time they were drawn out of retirement to reward audiences once again with their genius performances.
Her respect for the blues and her love of the standards is apparent in her own blues cuts, and she writes original blues songs that will be on her new Blues CD along with these classics, this one written by Willie McTell, we all love, but done in the inimitable way of Kitty Summerall, whose mesmerizing vocal style gives life to these well-loved tunes.

Born Lucky is a fast blues tune about gambling, about life being a crap shoot. In the Southern blues tradition, as well as in gambling lore, thinking positively is vital, boasting, and getting into the vibe. The lyrics reflect this arrogant and hopeful style someone takes when about to approach a gambling scene. Kitty Summerall's vocals are cool and bluesy on this hot blues rocker, and Johnny Nation's fine guitar track adds to the magic of the game. Think Steve McQueen in the great film, "Cincinnati Kid", and you'll get the idea of the song.
