JJ Bennett and The Mercy - Revel In The Light

JJ Bennett—born Jesse Bennett—is a rising Blues/Rock guitarist whose musical journey began under the spell of legends like Johnny Winter, Albert King, Bobby Bland, Eric Johnson, and Jimi Hendrix. Today, his inspiration continues to evolve, shaped by modern torchbearers such as Eric Gales and Joe Bonamassa.

Though his style is still taking shape, one thing is clear: JJ plays to move people. His guitar work and vocals carry a distinct, soulful tone—raw, unfiltered, and deeply sincere. There’s a timelessness in his sound, as if his young body channels an old soul touched by the greats who came before.

This is his new single, called Revel In The Light. I love the riffs, the classy arrangement, very 70s, the catchy vocals, and all the little details and variations (check out the fantastic solo section, in the central part of the song). A quality performance and production, for a very enjoyable song. Give it a go by clicking on the Spotify player below, and remember to follow JJ Bennett as well, if you like what you hear.
