Beauty of the Jagged Road (2009)

CHRIS MERCER

BEAUTY OF THE JAGGED ROAD

Here’s a tried-and-tested talent who has fully paid her dues. She arrives with an ‘in-your-face’ musical statement that is wholly rootsy, unapologetic and ‘direct-to-the-point’. Her down-to-basics lyrics conjure up a blend of ‘street-sense’ with ‘Good News’ that is perceptive, devoid of sickly sentiment. Yes, here’s a quality selection of gems from the very talented Liverpool gal.Her engaging style embraces contemporary urban-rock and country-folk-roots sounds. Enjoyable and engaging, pick-out tracks like ‘Cold Wind’ and 'Wrong Side Of Town' show high possibilities and radio-play potential. Sometimes gentle-on-the-ear, but mostly bouncy rockabilly, she has a distinctive style.She’s got what it takes to make it, and her sound is fully alive... happy, sad…according to the repertoire change.

Whispers of His Grace ( 2007)

Good news, Chris Mercer’s heart-warming,contemporary balladeering is crisp and fresh! 'Adult-Contemporary' is at the genre-core and the combination of Chris with producer, Sammy Horner is powerful.If you like to be stunned by modern, self-penned songs and performances that edify, Chris will oblige! Moving and motivating stuff, her voice is outstanding and this album shows what she can do. Masterfully produced in Scotland

for UK; Europe and USA, release, ‘Whispers of His Grace’ is full of song-thoughts and declarations covering all manner of subjects. Most are instantly challenging, cutting and catchy. Sammy also is Chris’s duettist on a great modern country ditty entitled ‘Jesus & You’. ‘Distant Time’ features impressive pedal steel guitar played by Phil Madeira of Nashville

Reviewed by Tony Cummings CrossRhythmsJuly05 “…….Between them Mercer and Horner have crafted a delightfully eclectic musical concoction. One moment the listener is caught up in plaintive Celtic music, next moment he's enveloped in yearning country (the song "Jesus And You" - a duet with Sammy Horner - is already a turntable hit on numerous country gospel stations around the world), while elsewhere old time rockaboogie (the opener "All Because Of You"), the wistfully sweet "Distant Time" and the swampy, bluesy "Greatest Comeback" all catch the ear. Throughout Chris' singing is sweet, tender and absolutely convincing.” Whispers of His Grace…Two top 10 hits from this album ..Jesus and You the country smash hit 12 weeks in the country charts top 10..Distant Time released Aug 07 went straight into Top10 NCM UK
