I have fond memories of listening to this album when I was much younger. My dad had this on tape and it's about the furthest I can remember back when I was that young. Usually, you don't remember stuff from when you're five but, this is my first tracings of music in a way. This isn't hard or nearly rock. It's acoustic soft music that I feel I have a special connection with. Natalie Merchant's voice is uplifting in this release. I'm not familiar with there history but, I know when I hear something good and this is it. It is a stretch for my blog but, I think if you're open enough to look on youtube maybe you'll see what I'm saying. I think this proves my diversity as I tried all throughout school to not be labeled. This was Merchant's last appearance with 10,000 Maniacs so I guess that's why I never bothered to really care about post unplugged stuff by them. Even though it sounds folk I see something worthy in it being better than most folk because it definitely caught my attention going back and listening to the tracks is quite a trip in memory lane for me.
