The common denominator is always their sensitive interpretation of the song. Chris Jones’ characteristic artful guitar work is designed throughout not simply to set off fireworks, but to build arrangements and grooves that support each tune. Steve Baker has got the business to backing up singers with feeling and style down to a fine art, and his unmistakable counterpoint riffs interweave with Jones’ powerful vocals and guitar to create an indivisible whole of rare potency. This duo has a sound that just won’t let you go, and gives the wide range of material on ”Everybody’s Crying Mercy” a coherence which is totally convincing.
