The Fabulous Wailers were one of the first regional premier rock bands. Their live recording at Seatle’s Castle, now barely listenable, was pivotal for many of the early bands in the Pacific Northwest to try and emulate. Rudimentary instrumentals and vocal covers songs sung by the outstanding Gail Harris or Rockin’ Robin Roberts were visceral and energetic. Later they would drop the ‘Fabulous’ from the name as well as many of their personnel. Guitarist Richard Dangel was a style to behold. Keyboardist Kent Morrill took over vocals by the time of Out Of Our Tree, released: Oct 1965. Mercy Mercy (Have Mercy, Baby) has been covered so many times because it’s such a great little soulful song. Sadly, virtually all of this group’s recordings sound pretty awful today and are badly in need of remixing and remastering. I tried my best to prop up this cool song, isolating tracks, cutting verses, getting it down to under 2 minutes because the original source was sooo bad. You can still hear the record clicks as it fades out with the obligatory Pacific Northwest screams of the 6’0’s..
