Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep

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!!!

Our time in Eden is one of my favs.

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.
