The Mercy Brothers are a roots-forward collaboration between vocalist Barrence Whitfield and guitarist/producer Michael Dinallo, pairing Whitfield’s powerhouse R&B/soul presence with stripped-down, song-driven grit. Their sound leans into traditional blues, country/honky-tonk flavors, and raw old-time roots music rather than the full-tilt “shout” attack Whitfield is often known for. They released the album Strange Adventure and have documented the project in live recordings (including a 2003 set in Oslo), and more recently a digital release titled Live on Long Distance.
