Album Notes

Mercury Rising Blues Factor combines the roots of the blues with rock, pop, and jazz,
and infuses it with a sense of humor.

From the tasty guitar solo on Sing The Blues to the ripping organ on Come around
the honky tonk piano on Astray, this music is sometimes reminiscent of the Allmans or
Lynyrd Skynyrd, sometimes more traditional like Robert Cray or BB King.
Mercury Rising Blues Factor is a feel good album for cruising in your car,
or just kicking back with a cold one.
