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\u003cbr\u003eappreciation 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’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLP pressed on Blood Moon vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Integral","offers":[{"title":"LP Red Marble - BER1587LP","offer_id":56360686289275,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD - BER1587CD","offer_id":56360686322043,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3020\/0134\/files\/fdhbyuhk.png?v=1785586478","url":"https:\/\/www.mixeduprecords.com\/products\/gerry-beckley-merciful","provider":"Mixed Up Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
