Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep

Listened to this fine cd all the way thru last night. Almost two hours of eclectic, well played and well produced songs from around the world, apparently children's poems. Wish I had seen this tour. I missed it here in Chicago when she played - think it was a smaller venue. Highly recommended!

HUGE Natalie Merchant fan here!  Have everything on vinyl & CD that she has ever done.  Also have had the pleasure of seeing her a couple of times in concert.

Absolutely fabulous!!!

I’m a big 10,000 Maniacs fan, saw them in concert in the early 90s before she left the group. “Leave Your Sleep” is a great album but also check out “The House Carpenter's Daughter” if you like traditional folk music.

Our Time in Eden is analogous to the Polices Synchronicity: after that apex, there was really no higher each band could have gone. 

I kinda hopped off the train after Motherland, but jumped back on when I heard Butterfly.

Big 10,000 Maniacs fan, so when she came out with the album/cd "Tigerlilly" I was mesmerized as I sat and listened to her very sorrowful voice on the song RIVER (written for her dear friend River Pheonix). Truly amazing (turn it way up :-)
