Ah! They missed the dots in R.E.M. 
Natalie sounds great, I’ve always loved her dancing too.

I don’t think the album is bad or anything but in all honesty, I was not that taken with it upon first listen. Then again, with few exceptions, I’ve never been the biggest fan of her solo work in general. My favorite is The House Carpenter’s Daughter.
I’ve only heard the tracks posted in this thread. I have some of 10,000 Maniacs records. My favorite is The Wishing Chair.

I love all of their records with Natalie but my favorite is In My Tribe. That probably has a lot, if not everything to do with it being the first album I heard by them.

I must get hold of this CD. I had a 10000 Maniacs CD which went with the box that my daughter advised clearing out when I moved house (sacrilege!). I’m only left with a few treasured ones now… We have Tigerlily and Ophelia and play those in the local Oxfam shop when I’m working on the till ( they’re one of the few music choices the manager and I agree on- otherwise we have different musical taste). I did take in a Nick Drake album Bryter Later the other week and one of the customers said “Nice to hear a bit of Nick Drake”.
