Gypsy: Brenda and the Rattlesnake

Chris Salewicz, Let It Rock, February 1973

I've waited for one like this ever since the first Crazy Horse album in 1971. Gypsy's second album starts off with the sound of a car revving up – and you're off. Straight into 'Brand New Car', a Berrified cut in the tradition of the Great Car Songs: 'I've gotta brand new car/And I'm doing alright/And there's a woman by my side/And she's just outa sight.'
