As a talented pianist, Kelley Hunt has proven she's quite capable of soulful, Chicago-style blues up to and including boogie-woogie. With Mercy she's vocally focused in a swamp queen's persona without dramatic histrionics or foggy backdrops, delving deep into no-nonsense subject material while still retaining her allure.
