    I enjoy "Tigerlily" as well, particularly the 5.1 DVD-Audio version.

    she's one talented woman. saw her a few times live.

    I particularly like how she stood up against radio hosts in one song who were joking about River Phoenix's death... (wow, that was more than a few years ago)

    I have heard that, she is wonderful. And of course everyone knows her from her great cover of "Because the Night."

    I have been listening to Beloved wife since yesterday when I saw this post. It reminds me of when my mother passed away a few years back. What an incredible song! It is amazing how much great music is out there and you pass it up. I had this cd for years and never listened to it until now or maybe I could not relate to it until now. River is also incredible. Thanks for the reminder!

    Just finished listened to 5 albums in a row. That's around 4 hours 37 mins and 09 seconds and i'm thoroughly impressed. Thanks for the PJ board for opening my eyes wider and seeing more talent!

    AFTER THE GOLD RUSH was a fucking sweet suprise too!

    Other female solo artists I like are Regina Spektor, some PJ Harvey and Fiona Apple.



    Here's some Regina Spektor live stuff, for those who haven't heard her sing:

    I've been a Natalie Merchant and 10,000 Maniacs fan for almost 25 years now (yes, I'm old). If you aren't familiar with 10,000 Maniacs' early stuff, I highly recommend The Wishing Chair (the first tour I saw them on) and In My Tribe (the first tour that I actually met Natalie on). Original copies of In My Tribe have a cover of Peace Train by Cat Stevens. They took the song off of later album editions due to Cat Stevens criticism of Salmon Rushdie (sp?), but you can find 10,000 Maniacs' cover on you tube....very beautiful.
    It's nice to be nice to the nice.
