10000 Maniacs lead singer Natalie Merchant released this beautiful album in 2009 which pretty much sank into obscurity as soon as it was released which is very sad! This album deserves to be hi-lited and heard by many more ......this double-disc album contains 26 new songs using odes to various poems, anonymous nursery rhymes, and lullabies of 19th and 20th century British and American writers as source material setting them all to original music.
The end result is a fantastic album that offers a huge range of theme's, moods, styles and atmosphere's.....so much that you will not be able to put this album down. Merchant is assisted by a number of musical friends including Medeske, Martin and Wood and Wynton Marsalis which keep this album's interest going.
Check this album out....you might just leave your sleep
