Supergroups can really suck sometimes. Velvet Revolver proved that without a shadow of a doubt. But they can also produce something that is at least equal to the sum of its parts; please see Traveling Wilburys for reference. I come into each with a healthy dose of skepticism, but given my tall-man man crush on Joseph Arthur, I’ll give this one a fair shot, especially since the video below is actually pretty darn good!
Fistful of Mercy is all scheduled to release its debut joint on October 5th and hit the road on tour that month. We shall monitor and see how this all pans out.
