Editorial Reviews
20101 debut from this trio featuring Ben Harper, Dhani Harrison (George's son) and Joseph Arthur. The trio formed in early 2010 and wasted little time before laying down tracks for what would become As I Call You Down. Ben Harper is no stranger to the music world. Having met FOM band-mate Dhani Harrison while skating, the two were unaware of each other's background in the industry for months. Once realized, collaborating seemed to make perfect sense and thus Fistful Of Mercy was formed instantly. Written, produced and recorded in Harper's studio, As I Call You Down is comprised of nine songs complete with soulful harmonies and blues-infused folk guitar seamlessly blended with an indie rock backbone. As I Call You Down effortlessly crosses through genre defining borders and is sure to please fans of both Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison's previous work, while welcoming new listeners with open arms.

This Vinyl Record comes with a dropcard with a code for a download of the digital version of the album. The sound is crystal clear and sounds live coming from my record player speakers. All of the songs are very good with my favorites being "In Vain or True" and "Restore Me". Dhani Harrison, Ben Harper, and Joesph Arthur make for a great supergroup which (to me) is like Dhani's own version of The Traveling Wilburys. Overall very amazing album, would recommend to anyone.

I have been listening to this CD nonstop since it came in the mail. The music is fantastic and the boy's harmonies are on spot. This is an album that you can listen to over and over again without getting bored. Great job guys!

When I first listened to this album I was honestly totally turned off. It might've been the relentless press about how it was made in three days, the simple lyrics, the fact it falls short of being the sum of its impressive parts... something about it bugged me. Upon repeated listens though, I've really turned to enjoy it.
The more you listen to it the more you get into it. If you happen to get to see them live, then you totally end up loving it. Seriously, while I fully think if you like folky/bluesy/laid back stoner music, this is the album for you, I wholly think everyone should see them live, because that's really where their strengths are. Absolutely amazing shows that really illustrate how great this band can, and will be.
A very good first album though...I think the faults are more in how good it =could= be vs any real legitimate flaws.
One word to the wise, most of the album doesn't sound like the title track. I think that is one of the more nuanced tracks on the album.
Urgh, I hate that this sounds negative, because it's truly not. It's a great album, it is. It just takes a little getting used to.

Fistful of Mercy
This Album has 3 songs I would consider really good and the rest are decent. I love Ben Harper so springing for a rare record from him and Harrison's son was a no brainer.

eh ... pretty mediocre
I am a big Ben Harper fan, so I thought this might be a good change of pace for him. I'm disappointed. Almost all of the songs sound the same. Read more

Interesting...
I mainly was interested in this because it is George Harrison's son, Dhani's group, and he reminds me so much of his father! Read more

I wish I'd paid more attention to the previous reviews! George's son certainly provided more evidence that he's got a lot of his dad's musical talents in him, but this "As I Call... Read more

As I call you down...Fistful of Mercy
It took me a couple of playings before I got the harmony part. It was said to be a CS&N style harmony, but that didn't hold true for me. It's a fresh new sound for me. Read more

Just great music
People, just enjoy the music. We are not anylizing major world events. It is very enjoyable music period. If you like a nice acoustic sound and a harmony, listen and enjoy.
