Title
Para Siempre

The Gypsy Pistoleros are back, well sort of! Para Siempre is a re-issue of the bands soon to be classic debut 'Wild, Beautiful, Damned' with a couple of extra tracks, and now released on Bad Reputation, rather than self released. Oh, and the new tracks? You might have heard of one of them, a cover of a certain Ricky Martin song 'Livin La Vida Loca'!

If you missed this the first time around, or were too slow to catch the ship before it sailed into out of print land, this is your chance to get your hands on what could be the best album of 2007. Yes it really was that good, and with the extra tracks, it got even better. The cover is actually superb, and suits the bands latin infused style down to the ground, and 30 seconds in your singing along despite who did this originally.

We've got a new track order, we've got new songs, but we've still got the same attitude. To quote myself from the earlier review "Evenin' Pardner. Ya be wantin' some whiskey with them 'ere Pistoleros?" That's how the album should have started. This is hot for the faint hearted or those purists who say sleaze should be predictable, for that's one thing that 'Wild, Beautiful, Damned!' is not. This is not your normal glam/sleaze album, this is something new.

"It's like listening to LA Guns and Guns N Roses playing in the saloon in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It's dirty, it's nasty, you can practically smell the sawdust on the floor."

It all stands, it's all still true, and the Gypsy Pistoleros are one of the best things to come out of the UK in years, these are the bastard children of Axl Rose and Ennio Morricone, and just for the record, I still stand by the fact that this should have been named 'The Good, The Bad, and the Gyspy Pistoleros'!
