The rock supergroup has been tried a few times before, think The Traveling Wilburys or more recently Monsters of Folk, and as in sports it's always uncertain whether a team of all-stars will succeed over a more organic mix of talent.
Fistful of Mercy is a new group of greats featuring Ben Harper, Dhani Harrison (son of George), and Joseph Arthur which formed in February after Harper and Harrison guested with Arthur in the studio. The three decided to write some originals together and the resulting group of songs became "As I Call You Down", which came out in early October. The group is on tour behind the album and last night were the musical guest on the newly revived Conan, performing "Father's Son" with a super guest of their own, former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello.
Check out the performance below.
