{"product_id":"gerry-beckley-merciful","title":"Gerry Beckley - Merciful","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Like trains forever leaving stations, merciful are these stories we spin,” sings Gerry Beckley on the title track to his latest Blue Elan Records solo album, ‘Merciful’, a dark-laced song penned by noted Scandinavian jazz trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær. That sentiment captures the elegiac spirit of the 13-song collection, produced by Beckley with frequent collaborator and lyricist Jeff Larson, that looks both back and forward with an appreciation of the past and an acknowledgement of impending mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeckley is the co-founding member of the multi-Platinum band America. Beckley wrote and sang lead on such successful America singles as ‘Sister Golden Hair’, ‘I Need You’, ‘Daisy Jane’ and the Russ Ballard-penned ‘You Can Do Magic’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeckley’s latest solo work, ‘Merciful’, is a timeless, personal work that realizes our own very limited span on earth at the same time as it seizes the possibilities while we’re still here. A most worthy addition to the classic Gerry Beckley oeuvre; the light and dark perfectly calibrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP pressed on Blood Moon vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Elan Records","offers":[{"title":"Ltd Blood Moon Vinyl","offer_id":54699263721795,"sku":"RPT-28706","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":54699263754563,"sku":"RPT-28707","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/SOU_20260801_2023_201300_513_p_page_15_image_5_025.jpg?v=1785742822","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/gerry-beckley-merciful","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
