about

On November 10, 2018, as California wildfires blanketed the entire San Francisco Bay Area with smoke, Carnaby 4 held a live recording party at historic Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco. 40+ friends and fans packed into the upstairs Studio C for an intimate set of 15 tunes, recorded by a single stereo microphone. If it sounds low-fi and smoky you now know why!

"Mercy, Mercy" (sometimes referred to as "Have Mercy") is a soul song first recorded by American singer/songwriter Don Covay in 1964. It established Covay's recording career and influenced later vocal and guitar styles. The songwriting is usually credited to Covay and Ron Alonzo Miller, although other co-writers' names have also appeared on various releases.

In late 1964, the song became a hit, reaching number one on the Cash Box R&B chart and number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. Several artists have recorded "Mercy, Mercy", including a well-known version by the Rolling Stones in 1965. More recently, Covay's original version has received attention as one of Jimi Hendrix's first recordings as a sideman.
