The album that should have been recorded between Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street...chopped and channeled Delta Blues, with even a guest appearance by J.Geils frontman Peter Wolf. Mercenary's first full in-house production shows off three mic drum sounds, ribbon mics on guitars, what musicians sound like when you don't put them in headphones, and makes for some fine accompaniment while sipping bourbon.
