Here's the scoop from Steve Wynn...
"About 25 years ago, Johnny Hott (House of Freaks, Gutterball, Cracker) and I collaborated on an album-length collection of songs centered around Johnny’s fractured home recordings and lyrics that I wrote in real time as I heard the songs. We made up a story that we had written the songs for an obscure and long-forgotten 60’s chanteuse named Mercy DeLorean who we had met in a lounge somewhere in the Midwest and talked into going into the studio for the first time in decades to sing the tunes. All lies, of course but we took the concept to completion with my then-girlfriend (and non-singer) Brigid Pearson inhabiting the role of Mercy. We called the project and record “The Sumptuettes.” None of the music was ever released although I ended up recording 3 of the songs—“Invisible,” “500 Girls Mornings” and “We’ve Been Hanging Out” on records of mine that followed. But just this weekend Johnny sent me this video he put together for one of the songs so here it is—the world premiere of The Sumptuettes (featuring Mercy DeLorean)."
