The song "Cry Of The Gypsy" is a track from Dokken's highly successful fourth studio album, Back for the Attack, which was released on October 27, 1987. This record is often considered a pinnacle of the band's career and of the late 1980s heavy metal and glam metal scene. "Cry Of The Gypsy" is a solid example of the band’s signature arena rock sound, which blended heavy riffs with melodic vocals and a polished production. The track was a product of the entire classic lineup, with songwriting credits attributed to Don Dokken, George Lynch, and Jeff Pilson. The performance on the track features the powerful and distinct vocals of Don Dokken, the virtuosic and unique guitar work of George Lynch, the strong bass lines and backing vocals of Jeff Pilson, and the solid drumming of "Wild" Mick Brown. The album Back for the Attack, and by extension this song, was produced by Neil Kernon, contributing to its overall clean, powerful, and radio-ready sound that defined 1980s commercial hard rock.
