"Gypsy Road" rolled off Cinderella's 1988 album Long Cold Winter on Mercury, the single that came between "Somebody Save Me" and "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)". Tom Keifer wrote it alone and sings lead, and he's all over the credits: electric, acoustic and steel guitar, plus harmonica, which gives the band's glam metal a dusty, roadhouse edge.
Jeff LaBar is the other electric guitarist, Eric Brittingham plays bass and sings backup, and Fred Coury is the drummer, with Denny Carmassi and Cozy Powell credited on additional drums and Paulinho da Costa on percussion. Rick Criniti guests on Hammond organ, piano and synthesizer, and Jay Levine adds pedal steel. Andy Johns produced and engineered with Keifer and Brittingham as co-producers, and Michael Barbiero and Steve Thompson mixed it.
