If this is a band, this is a perfect blend of songwriting talent and singing.

Good things pouring from their hands on this single track--I hope there is an album and perhaps many more projects to follow.

Now I'm off to find the lyrics for us.

Angela? Can ya help a fella? Rolling Eyes

It's a little early for lyrics Smile

They are typically transcribed by fans.

But you can now listen to and watch today's Fistful Of Mercy session at KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic.

Joseph Arthur is a true living genius. It shows Joe's massive influence on the other 2 band members and how he makes this band and his creativity... think there could be no other song writer like him the number of songs of great quality he can come up with in such a short time![/url]

another live session by fistful of mercy. I got a feeling these guys will go far and its gotta be said Joe does seem to be the lead guy even more so than Ben Harper who is maybe more famous and also a good musician... just few are as great and talented as Joseph Arthur!

For some reason, I don't see this band lasting too long. Both Harper and Arthur are prolific writers and both are quite talented. I can't see either one being the leader or in charge. I hope they can share the stage for a while, and make it to Nashville as a three-some, but I'm not holding my breath.

You may be right...but it'll be glorious to catch it while it's flying.

I'm hoping that the band allows for each of them to do some of their own songs. After all, there are only 9 tracks on the album. Their shows must be longer than 9 songs....ya think?

Got it today. On first listen, I'd say it feels more like a Harper album than an Arthur one. Def a keeper.
