From their 2006 album Strange Adventure. And the Mercy Brothers were basically Michael Dinalo on guitar and Barons Whitfield on vocals. And before that the Radio Kings with Drowning from the 1994 album It Ain't Easy. And the reason I played those two together is that the Radio Kings had Michael Dinalo on guitar as well. Cleverly put together, I don't think so. The next album I found a couple of years ago and it's a great album. It's actually Booker White and Furry Lewis. And it's called Party at Home. And it was mostly recorded in Furry's apartment in Memphis in 1968. And they never play together. And if you look at the photo on the front, it's fairly obvious why. While one is playing the others drinking. And there are also lots of other people talking. It's obviously really is a party going on. Let's see it from Booker White first.
