While on the subject of music from the children of legends and “Pale Blue Eyes” covers… Fistful of Mercy, the new rootsy supergroup consisting of George Harrison’s son Dhani, Ben Harper, and Joseph Arthur, have not only proven they’re greater than the sum of their parts with new original material, but with a few famous covers added to the live repertoire as well. While it remains hard to pin down exactly how their unlikely concoction of talents works so effectively, watching these guys bring their collective passion for music to the table for every single jam is undeniably endearing. Here’s hoping they follow up As I Call You Down with a sophomore record.
Until then, enjoy Fistful of Mercy covering Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks closer, “Buckets of Rain,” PJ Harvey’s To Bring You My Love title track, and Velvet Underground classic “Pale Blue Eyes” live:
