For better or worse (and a few people who know me would say “worse”), I’ve always been a sucker for Traveling Wilbury/ELO whiz Jeff Lynne’s music. I even ran a Jeff Lynne fan site many moons ago, which tracked his every move and had a discussion forum where people would endlessly talk and obsess about Mr Lynne.
His new music video is awesome. A low-profile, terminally-shy personality clearly headed for the Rock Hall of Fame, Jeff is one of those “best-kept secrets” in pop/rock music.
So check out Mercy, Mercy by “The Jeffs” and, if you like what you hear, grab his new album, out early next month. If you’re already a fan, there’s a bonus ELO re-release coming our way too.
