Notes: Bex Marshall’s third album is a gritty affair that finds the North London singer/guitarist in rather brilliant form. A smoldering collection of gutsy blues, swooning soul grooves and straight up rock and roll, The House Of Mercy is a sweaty blast of American music, played by a British girl with muscle and belief. There’s the bluesy whip of “Love”; “Bite Me” is rife with temptation and danger and the seductive title-track opener brings to mind the best work of Bonnie Raitt. Other standouts include “Bourbon Street,” which sounds like Janis Joplin by way of the bayou and “Big Man” is a winning rootsy shuffle. Produced by Marshall herself, this is a cohesive, often sizzling set that should secure Marshall’s place among the greats, both past and present.
