Mercy Now

Kathy Mattea's voice at 59 is remarkably similar to present day voice of Joan Baez who is almost 78.

Re: Mercy Now -Kathy Mattea
Hello again Kush,
What a sad but beautiful song and video. Thank you for posting it. I always associate Kathy Mattea with '455 Rocket' and still listen to that song occasionally. Slightly different from 'Mercy Now.'

Hi Tony,
455 Rocket is a terrific song and video. Have been a long time fan of Kathy Mattea and especially of her last 3 albums. Yes quite different from Mercy Now.
Here she is harmonizing with Emmylou Harris - another peerless voice in a different range. As Townes Van Zandt put it in song "the bottom low, the treble clear"
What Could Have Been

And a cover of Billy Edd Wheeler's song Coming of the Roads - a love song and environmental song rolled into one !

Re: Mercy Now -Kathy Mattea
Two lovely songs, Kush. There sems a similarity in the sentiments of both of them with traditional Irish songs of nostalgia and regret.
