{"title":"10,000 Maniacs","description":"\u003cp\u003e10,000 Maniacs has a lot in common with Jamestown, New York, the city that spawned them back in 1981. Both are honest and hardworking, a step outside the mainstream, and both possess a bit of magic. “It’s a city of blue-collar poetry,” says keyboardist Dennis Drew. “And that’s what we’re about, real-life stories. We’re a family, we do real work and we keep moving forward.”\u003cbr\u003eThe band has covered plenty of ground in its 35-plus years, from cult-herodom to international stardom, to their current status as a cornerstone alternative band. But the sound and spirit of 10,000 Maniacs remains consistent. The live shows embrace their entire catalogue, and the lineup is still anchored by four of the six original members. Drew and bassist Steven Gustafson cofounded the band in 1981, drummer Jerry Augustyniak came along shortly afterward, and founding guitarist\/singer John Lombardo, who’d never completely left the picture, was welcomed back fulltime in 2015. And the two “new” members have long been part of the family: Mary Ramsey toured and recorded with the Maniacs as a viola player and backup singer before stepping into the front woman’s role 25 years ago. And the new guy Jeff Erickson, the lead guitarist for a mere 18 years, came in at the behest of his friend and mentor, the late Rob Buck.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"10-000-maniacs-twice-told-tales-colored-vinyl-white-deluxe-edition","title":"Twice Told Tales (Colored Vinyl, White, Deluxe Edition)","description":"DESCRIPTION\r\nLimited white vinyl LP pressing. Twice Told Tales is the ninth studio album by Jamestown, New York band 10,000 Maniacs, their first in 14 years. It is an album that consists of many traditional folk songs from the British Isles. For this album, they team up with producer Armand John Petri, who had worked with the band since 1991, as well as producing their 1999 album The Earth Pressed Flat. Coming back into the fold was founding member John Lombardo, who had supplied the band with a cassette full of songs he loved, as well as putting together the arrangements.\r\n\r\n \r\nTracks\/Credits\r\n1 Lady Mary Ramsey\r\n2 The Song of Wandering Aengus\r\n3 She Moved Through the Fair\r\n4 Dark Eyed Sailor\r\n5 Misty Moisty Morning\r\n6 Canadee-I-O\r\n7 Do You Love An Apple?\r\n8 Carrickfergus\r\n9 Death of Queen Jane\r\n10 Wild Mountain Thyme\r\n11 Marie's Wedding\r\n12 Lady Mary Ramsay II\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/6\/2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"10,000 Maniacs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44583095402729,"sku":"VQA385-BOWL-00","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/10000-maniacs-twice-told-tales-colored-vinyl-white-deluxe-edition_fLjdb_d38a17bd-60c2-4c06-90fb-a264312f51f0.jpg?v=1759317820"},{"product_id":"10-000-maniacs-in-my-tribe","title":"10,000 Maniacs IN MY TRIBE","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe song \"Peace Train\" is no longer on this release.\u003cbr\u003eNatalie Merchant is one of those writers with an uncanny ability to portray the minutiae of life with pinpoint accuracy and detached humour.
