Summary
Gerry Beckley still has a lot in the vault, and Merciful proves it. The America co-founder talks with Kyle Meredith about stepping away from touring after 50-plus years, splitting time between Los Angeles and Sydney, and finally having the space to write, record, and chase ideas without getting off a plane every other day. Beckley digs into reworking “Monster,” covering The Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood” with Graham Nash, the Henry Diltz story behind “All the Wounded Cowboys,” and why melody, melancholy, and a little light-dark chemistry are still at the center of what he does.
