I usually like to talk up the musicians on this blog, but with this group the music truly speaks for itself. Fistful of Mercy is Ben Harper, Dhani Harrison (son of the late George Harrison), Joseph Arthur. Jessy Greene plays violin with them on these songs.
It is pure, beautiful music. It's also powerful; these songs reach out and grab my soul.
Listen for yourself! (I recommend headphones to fully appreciate all the beautiful layers)
