Press Reviews "...Pay You Back" is a bona-fide sleeper-disc - rich with finely honed pop sensibilities, austere arrangements, and James' undeniably toen and frayed attitude." - Northest Performer (4/99)...."Mercy James' tunes sparkle with melodic intelligent, yet dry-witted storytelling with flourishes of glam." - The Noise (Rock Around Boston (4/99)...."Hooky stuff." - Boston Soundcheck (9/99)
