Released by Forty Below Records, the album captures the raw energy of live performances. It was recorded in a single take with no overdubs or added production effects. The repertoire is a “musical stew” that masterfully combines Southern soul, roadhouse blues, Django Reinhardt’s gypsy jazz influences and Caribbean rhythms.

Standout tracks include “Jessie Mae,” a tribute to Mississippi Hill Country blues legend Jessie Mae Hemphill, and the hypnotic “Goin’ Down to South Carolina”. The chemistry between Soars’ slide guitar and Harris’ “extraordinary” fiddle creates an atmosphere that some critics have described as an almost religious musical experience. Violin player Anne Harris contributes with spiritual textures and a passionate intensity that raises the compositions to a high level.

Backed by a faultless rhythm section, the duo reaches a genuine daring sound that defies conventional labels. In essence, it is a seminal album for those who value pure musicianship and sonic diversity.

With “Gypsy Blue Revue”, Soars and Harris solidify a unique sound within the roots-music scene. The album is a declaration of real music, showcasing two musicians in perfect cooperation, an essential work for those who prize improvisation and soul in American music.
