Mercedes Lackey... Live! is a filk album produced by Firebird Arts and Music.

A 1989 Blurb

"The Mercedes Lackey . . . Live! tape is done and at the duplicators. We should have them ready to ship in three weeks. [Editor's Note: They should be ready now.] The re-make of Murder, Mystery and Mayhem is just about done. It should be ready to go out the door by the end of April. The two vocalists on the tape are Leslie Fish, Misty's long time partner in song, and Heather Alexander.

"Leslie is one half of 'the Lackeyfish,' a strange creature noted for creating beautiful music. The other singer on the tape is Heather, who is one of those terribly talented musicians who comes along once in a while. Between Misty, Leslie, and Heather, they are creating a super tape. Final song selection will be with Heather doing Wind's Four Quarters, Medic, Golden Eyes, Lammas Night, and Signy Mallory and Leslie singing F.A.P., Mis-conception, Jirel of Jorey, Gil-Shallos, Kerowyn's Ride, Of Cabbages and Eumenides. All those songs have lyrics by Misty and music by Leslie.

"A couple of trivia notes that your readers may like to know: the song Golden Eyes was the basis for the short story 'Were-Hunter' in the Andre Norton anthology, and actually predates the short story by several years. Lammas Night is a very early adventure of Kethry. It happened before she encountered Tarma.

"We have also started work on recording the two tape set of Oathbreakers & Oathbound. Oathbound will have mostly songs from the first book. It will feature Leslie Fish as Tarma, Heather Alexander as Kethry, and Larry Warner as Tarma's spirit guide. Larry got to sing the dead guy's part this time. This is a sought after feature role for the singers as the dead guy always gets super songs.

"Oathbreakers will follow the goings on in the book, and while the entire book is rather grim, the tape will have the light comic element of the feud between Leslac and Tarma. Leslie and Heather will do Tarma and Kethry, Jadric will be sung by Vic Tyler, and the Bard Leslac is going to be done by my husband Frank Hayes. Frank got to be the dead guy on Heralds, Harpers, and Havoc."
