Mercy Seat
Hard To Find 1987 Vinyl, Gold Promo Stamp On Front Jacket. Hint Of Ring Wear. Mastered By Bernie Grundman. "On The Face Of It, This Is A Punk Band Fronted By Violent Femmes' Gordon Gano Doing Covers Of Traditional Gospel Songs — And It Would Be Easy To Write This Album Off As Being Such. The Initial Surprise Of Hearing "Let Me Ride" With A Fast Punk Two-Beat Behind It Can Be Jarring, Not To Mention The Seemingly Incompatible Couplings Of Von Hepinstall's Husky Alto Voice And Gano's Whiny, Nasally Voice In A Call-And-Response Gospel Rave-Up. But Given A Listen For The Group As It Is And Not A Gordon Gano Side Project — And Hearing These Songs As Songs In Their Own Right And Not Gospel Covers — This Is An Excellent Record."- AMG
