Let Me Whisper I Can't Stand The Sight Of The Ocean by Tommy Mercer and The McBrides is a hauntingly beautiful album that showcases the band's unique sound and excellent musicianship. The album is a blend of folk, country, and rock, with beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics that will stay with the listener long after the last song has ended.
The album opens with the title track, "Let Me Whisper I Can't Stand The Sight Of The Ocean," a slow, melancholic ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features Mercer's soulful vocals, which are perfectly complemented by the McBrides' haunting harmonies and the gentle strumming of acoustic guitars.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Tumbleweed," a rollicking country tune with a catchy chorus and upbeat rhythm, and "The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's ability to create a mood and tell a story through music.
