"Compromised Blues (A Spy Goodbye)" is the fourth single from @troymercymusic debut record via @gitcharecords , "Let The Night Begin," produced by @tcarmandrums of @parlorgreens — thanks @ameribluesscene for featuring the premiere!

Living one life inside of the skin of another has its risks. Blues Unusualist Troy Mercy suggests it may help to have a bug-out plan for when, “It’s all gone wrong, trouble’s real this time”— the opening line of Mercy’s “Compromised Blues (A Spy Goodbye)."

With a riff-based groove perfect for your next high-speed car chase, “Compromised Blues” showcases Troy Mercy’s Power Duo guitar & drums band formation featuring drummer Harrison Foti. “To me this type of guitar is an extension of bluesmen like John Lee Hooker or Eddie Taylor. Simultaneous rhythm/lead, always with a dangerous edge. Always like one’s life depends on it” says the ace guitarist of Booker T. and Fabulous Thunderbirds fame.

This is Brave New Blues For A Mean Old World

"Let The Night Begin" will be released on vinyl and cd on May 29, 2026 via Gitcha Records and @selectohits — walk into your local record store and ask for Troy Mercy!

NEW MUSIC VIDEO! 🎸🔥Check out the premiere of the music video for “Cheap Machine," the third single from @troymercymusic debut record with @gitcharecords , "Let The Night Begin”, produced by @tcarmandrums (of @parlorgreens ). The video is once again directed by the supremely talented @sunny.skye.productions and @cassie_izzy_photography

***Head over to @psychedelic_baby_magazine for the video premiere today and to read Klemen Breznikar's review: "Think the scrappy edge of The White Stripes or The Black Keys, but with a deeper blues backbone running through it. Let the Night Begin leans hard into that mix of rawness built around guitar with enough focus on songwriting to keep it from drifting into empty shredding."

This is Brave New Blues For A Mean Old World

Fullerton & Friel Vol. II, the sophomore duo album from @ajfullertonmusic & @jakefriel_ , captures the pair at their most direct and unfiltered.

🎂 1 year ago my first single “Unrealized Gain” hit the world wide web 🌐 It speaks on the ills of postmodern capitalism. 365 days later not much has changed 🤷‍♂️ Here’s the full video 📺

OUT NOW! 🎸🔥

It’s impossible to hear an acoustic guitar and harmonica duo without thinking of Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee. @ajfullertonmusic & @jakefriel_ pay homage to that lineage on their fourth single from the upcoming Fullerton & Friel Vol. II, offering a reimagined cover of “You’d Better Mind” that honors the call-and-response interplay and Piedmont swing at the heart of the folk-blues tradition. Tracked and mixed to magnetic tape with @mrakanderson of @cowboy_cowabunga_recordings in Evergreen, CO, the recording captures the stripped-down, organic sound that defines the record.

OUT NOW! 🎸🔥 LISTEN & GET the song: Link in bio @troymercymusic “A Place Of Our Own” is the second single from @troymercymusic debut record with @gitcharecords , "Let The Night Begin”, produced by @tcarmandrums (of @parlorgreens )

For "A Place Of Our Own," Troy Mercy sets down his guitar flamethrower featured in his debut song "Traveling Light" and instead lays down some first-rate soul licks honed during his years spent touring with Booker T Jones. "It's those tales of ordinary madness that sneak up on us. You know, that daily pressure builds slowly," muses Mercy as he describes the feelings fueling this softly-orchestrated tune. "As your doctor, I'm prescribing listening to 'A Place Of Our Own' as needed and singing along to the Na-Na bits quite loudly indeed." Drummer & Producer Tim Carman of Parlor Greens and Marty Ballou on bass are the head-bobbing support behind Troy's soulful vocals and guitar riffs.
