Don Covay & The Goodtimers - Mercy Mercy Cant Stay Away
Review by Kathy McNamara
Don Covay & The Goodtimers' album Mercy Mercy Cant Stay Away is a classic soul album that showcases Covay's powerful voice and the band's tight musical arrangements. The album features a mix of original songs and covers, all of which are infused with the band's signature sound.
Standout tracks on the album include the title track "Mercy Mercy," which features a catchy chorus and a driving beat that will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along. "Seesaw" is another great track that showcases Covay's vocal range and the band's ability to create a groove that is both danceable and soulful.
Throughout the album, Covay's lyrics are thoughtful and introspective, exploring themes of love, heartbreak, and perseverance. He is able to convey a sense of vulnerability and honesty that is rare in popular music, making the album feel both personal and universal.
