"Sincere American folk music inspired from wanderlust. Best listened to on a sunlight porch" "Mercy began working on this recording in the beginning of 2011. The project features original compositions and old time folk covers arranges with friends and family members and a few wonderful cooks. This project was recorded and mixed through tape at The Seaside Lounge Recording Studios and a brownstone kitchen in Brooklyn, NY. At present, Mercy spends her days in New England making preparations for year long travels through the states in support of the record and knowledge for American history."- Eucalyptus Productions Music and Lyrics by Mercy Bell Except for "Hard Times" music and lyrics written by Stephen Foster Produced by Eucalyptus Productions Sound Engineering by Danielle DePalma Production Advisement by Christina Picciano Recorded at Seaside Lounge Recording Studios and Danielle's Kitchen Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar - Mercy Bell Upright Bass - Clay Wilson Electric Bass - Danielle DePalma Drums, Electric Guitar - Christina Picciano Instrumental Acoustic Guitar - Jen Kutler Cello - Dan Bindschedler Mandolin - Gypsy George Mihalopoulos Piano (The Fall, Lord Knows) - Maryanna Cannon Sokol Electric Guitar, Wurlitzer, Piano (All Good Cowboys) - Justin Repasky Harmonies - Ana-Maria Bell (All Good Cowboys, Flowers), Page Foster (Hard Times) Chorus - John Michael Bell, Rachel Zamstein, Maryanna Cannon Sokol Pedal Steel - Matt Knapp Album Cover Design - Seraphina Bell Physical CD Design - Kristine Thune Album Photography - Sara Olivia Moore Copyright © 2011 by Mercy Bell Special Thanks: This record wouldn't exist if it weren't for the generous donations of over 150 people who contributed to the Kickstarter campaign.
