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.

  • Beneath The Covers: A Rediscovery
    author: Jim Newman

    Wonderful album; I'm hooked on Gypsy Soul already! Their rendition of Take Me Home, Country Roads is my favorite!

  • LOOOOOOOOVE THIS CD
    author: adrienne cammack

    This is such a great CD! Beautiful melodies and a fresh, new spin on some of my old favorites. Superstition......OOhhhhh baby! So good! Im loving Gypsy Soul!!

  • Amazing!!
    author: Jamie Anderson

    "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

  • Great CD, wonderful music - cool covers
    author: C. Woody Butler

    This is a wonderful CD - I've loved Gypsy Soul for along time and when I hit their website and heard the cover of "Nights in White Satin" I ordered this CD immediately. It's really nice hearing how they can take a song and make it their own - it's not just the typical "cover that sounds like the original" it's really a reinventing of the original in their style. Wonderful stuff.

  • Hauntingly beautiful- it stays with you a long time after
    author: Gloria Savannah

    Wonderful, wonderful music. It touches the gyspsy in my soul. Now I want the other 7 CD's they produced. It takes to you to a place and time where your soul and world was a little freer and your heart is a little lighter after hearing them sing. What a gift to have a voice like that. Everyone should own at least one CD!!!!!!!!!!

  • A Fresh Perspective
    author: Dean

    I am one of the lucky few who received the BONUS CD tracks and am overwhelmed by the acoustic version of Who followed by Sailing. My daughter has been going through some tough times and as I think of her and listen to this song, my soul cries out for her. The song really changes your perspective on life. Thank you Cilette and Roman

  • Songs we know but have never heard before
    author: Craig and Amanda in Kirkland WA

    A fresh, Gypsy way to hear some songs we already know and enjoy. Cillette's attention grabbing voice and the distinctive sound Roman pulls out of those strings...Daniel L. needs to hear their music. We love that you took the time to put this out...Waiting for the uplugged C&R solo album. Keep sharing your blessing! Craig and Amanda, Kirkland WA

  • Absolutely Soul-stirring!!!
    author: Jennifer R

    This CD is so amazing! To hear these great classic songs done this way is such an awesome tribute! Wicked Game has never sounded better!

  • Only need 1 word: OUTSTANDING
    author: TA Bridge

    This is a great cd. Normally I don't care for remakes of the original song, but this was done very well. Would buy other cds from this group.

  • Gypsy Soul never fails to please
    author: Gypsy Soul - Beneath the Covers

    This CD is haunting with covers and originals. Wicked Game never sounded better. Lovin' Me, an original showcases the essence of Gypsy Soul's musical talents and God-given gift of talent. Highly recommend this CD to add to your collection of Gypsy Soul Music!

  • Soulfully Beautiful
    author: Sharla

    Once again Gypsy Soul did what they always do, reach into the center of my soul and brought it out. Love the way they sang all classic but in their own soulful way. I especially loved "Silver Lining". Talk about saying what you feel in a song. That is what that song did for me, it spoke for my soul what I always wanted to say.

  • Mesmerizingly Angelic.
    author: Lisa Charney

    I loved hearing Gypsy Soul's tributes to some great songs. Plus their songs were exceptional as well.

  • They have done it again!
    author: Ken & Sandy

    We have been huge fans of Gypsy Soul for several years now, and they just get better and better. This newest CD has truly thrilled me. Their version of Wicked Game is simply phenominal. Gives me goose bumps actually! I have heard the term "haunting" to describe GS and this CD proves it. Need something to de-stress? Buy this CD. You guys are simply amazing. Thanks for including my favorite "County Roads".

  • Another great album
    author: Metro: Santa Cruz, CA

    The well regarded Gypsy Soul acoustic duo of Cilette Swann and Roman Morykit is on the circuit in support of it's new album, Beneath The Covers: A Rediscovery. Instead of the Celtic based folk originals for which it is most noted, Gypsy Soul covers songs by it's favorite artists, from "Nights In White Satin" (on which Swann's high keening vocal works perfectly) to "Take Me Home Country Roads".

  • Gypsy Soul, Beneath The Covers; A Rediscovery
    author: East Bay Daily News

    Gypsy Soul, "Beneath The Covers" The luminous duo from the state of Washington elevates cover albums to a new summit. Cilette Swann's exquisite, intensely expressive voice entwines with Roman Morykit's nimble acoustic guitar work. Having established themselves with worthy original material over the course of numerous previous CDs, they bring affection, creativity and fresh perspective to an array of favorite songs. Standouts include the bluesy "Superstition" and a shimmering "Wicked Game."

  • another top class effort by the dynamic duo!!
    author: pete warwick

    High class guitar playing to accompany Cilette's beautiful vocals. All any Gypsy Soul fan could want.Wicked Game is my personal highlight

  • everything I expected from this great duo
    author: Pete Warwick

    Loved most of the tracks. My favourite just has to be Wicked Game, truely memorable. It's two years since I saw Gypsy Soul playing in the main street at Tempe festival, been in love with Cilette's voice ever since.

  • Country Roads Take Me Home - Wow , it touched me!
    author: Allen Tabor

    The cover of Country Roads is awesome! Being from West Virginia myself, this song has a special meaning to me and I have always defended the original version until now. John Denver wrote a great song, but Gypsy Soul gave it life and a heart. The first time I heard it I wept. Thank you, GS for bringing W.Va. back to me.
