Reception

A 2023 Louder review ranking Josh Homme's albums said, "The pick of 10 volumes recorded under the banner The Desert Sessions from 1997–2003, Gypsy Marches gave full expression to Homme’s idea of collective improv, gathering a like-minded cabal of chums at his Joshua Tree ranch and creating a set of songs rich in Eastern exotica and all manner of frontier weirdness."[1]
