Two gems Both are worth the money. I bought this single for the two songs " Blues run the game" and "Mercy". Im a die-hard fan of this band and own everything by them. And these two emotinally drenched cover-songs are a couple of the most inspired and beautiful works the crows have done. Ive listened to "Mercy" like 200 times now.
Unreleased B-Sides make these singles worth it!
The idea of the non-album B-side is just great. The title spells it out. It is what makes me look forward to shopping the "import" bin for singles. The two unreleased B-sides, "Blues Run the Game, and "Mercy" are both pretty good, not great, but good. They are worth the money, but they did not fit the theme of the album. Adam Duritz is really big on the continuity of his records, so when a song doesn't fit the progression of the album, it becomes a B-side. This and the American Girls 1 are both must-haves for Counting Crows fans.
