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!

NM is eclectic and an acquired taste for many. I enjoy everything she does IMO she is a gem and a tremendous singer/songwriter.

If you haven't already done so, check out her most recent (2023) album Keep Your Courage - really great music and fantastic sound. I have the record, but it sounds excellent in the streaming realm as well. 

On Leave Your Sleep, I've used the track The Peppery Man as a demo many times; expansive soundstage and eerily "present" sounding vocals.

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!!!
