Bonfire of Vanities

Jim Nelson, A Taste Of Triple A Jaunary 2005
...perfect folk-rock music...songs are authentically rootsy without losing that ever-elusive mainstream appeal.

Disk 2 , "Two for the Show" presents our "live" sound, stripped down but full with 2 musicians using vocals, guitar, and drums to present Mercy Creek music born from 6 years of hard touring.

The Best Singer/Song Writer Today.......2006-02-26

This CD is incredable. Not only do you get new Mercy Creek, but you get to hear her live! (CD2) It's almost as good as seeing her perform live! If you ever get the chance do it (see her live) she'll blow your mind! I have all 5 CD's. I love every one of them and can't wait for then next. The funny thing is I don't even like county music!!!

Great album, even better in person!.......2005-12-16

This is the most recent CD from Mercy Creek. Ever since their first CD, their music has grown and improved. They were great to begin with, and now irresistable with this current CD. My favorite song is "I'll Find a Place" (listen to it and you may figure out why). Mercy Creek calls their music "alternative folk". Many people get scared away by "folk" music, but Mercy Creek is more than a folk band. They have soul, rhythm, and Cheryl (lead singer and guitarist) can sing and play. If you've ever heard them perform live, you know what I mean. If you haven't, go see them! I highly recommend any of their CDs, especially this recent 2-CD album.

A great band and great album!.......2005-12-10

Mercy Creek sounds like what the White Stripes only wish they could sound like. Rocking and driving with an obvious homage to their folky roots, this exciting duo is one of the few bands that would feel equally at home on the Top 40 Rock charts and on the Top 40 Folk charts.

Like most great duos, they are consistently releasing better and better albums and this, their latest, will blow you away. It's almost scary to think how good the next album will be if they stay on the same track....
